    due to cosmic radiation, computers in space run in triplicates…. so everything is times 3….
    but yes, it’s a lie.
    also, the definition of supercomputer is a bit muddy. my phone is a supercomputer by most standards (obsolete standards).

      So the “journalist” Wes Davis is a liar and the Verge is a slop factory run by idiots.

      Judging by the fact these are launching on long march 20s. It’s probably not going beyond LEO, so it doesn’t need proper deep space hardening like the RAD750 or the like.

      It’s probably closer to off the shelf parts like what’s used on the ISS.
