AmigaOne X1000: best potential mini-space shuttle controller?

[takemehomegrandma]

With the closure of NASA's Shuttle Program, ... With personal mini-space shuttles just around the corner, do you think that the X1000 is the best choice for controlling them?

Well, the price of the thing sure fits NASA's grandiose spending budget model, that's for sure.

Who knows, could perhaps even turn out that NASA will be the only one affording it! :p

What matters for these applications is robustness rather than speed. For example, the Mars rovers use PPC based processors that run at only ~33MHz that were made when desktop machines were in the high hundreds. However, unlike your current 2-4GHz processor, these devices will withstand radiation levels that would literally kill you within minutes

Military Spec, I *knew* it! Well I'm sure the PA6 is that, since it was used by the military, so that shouldn't be a problem. And since the Xorro and Xena are XuperDuper, it should be clear that the X1000 is up for the job!
