beowulf in space

[Gerry Creager N5JXS]

Generally, hardening takes a lot more than a sealed box, although 
packaging of the processor is part of it.  It involves considerations of 
trace sizing on the die, deposition thickness, and a number of other 
things.  Generally, it takes a lot of work to test and certify a lot of 
processors as to their rad-hardness.

There's really a lot of effort that goes into it.
