@glitzersachen @plup360 exactly. It never made sense. Not economically of course but also just physically. It just does not work

@tante @glitzersachen @plup360 Did I miss something while reading or that article doesn't even mention the issue of ionizing radiation in computing machinery, or the possible costs of rad-hardened hardware?

Might be especially relevant for something which seems to require massive computing power and which deals with massive amounts of data.

@tante @glitzersachen Speaking of the latter, former NASA scientist @drphiltill would beg to differ.
