The Space Shuttle’s Solid-State Video Recorders (SSVR) that @OliverPank and I inherited were embedded Intel boards running Windows NT. They were far from reliable.
I pushed hard to move over to Linux, but eventually quit in frustration. NASA needs all the help they can get.

Haven’t NASA heard of Serverless yet ? They won’t even need an onboard computer for their space probes, it will be all serveless and cloud computed. Also there will be AI and blockchain for better and more efficient launches. And yes microservices to link to other satellites.
-
There's no cloud in space, dude. It's atmosphere related stuff :v
-
Sarcasm... it's not easy is it.

-
By your answer for my cloud comparison, yeah it's pretty hard as we can see.

on a serious note, it always strikes me when I recall how little computational power NASA needed to launch Apollos to the moon. :(
-
It makes it even more insane that people think it would be impossible or too difficult for the moon landings to have happened. If you think London could be targeted by V2 bombs from Germany, then the rest is just scale and turning things on and off at the right time.
-
The moon-landing is a few orders of magnitude more difficult, but NASA had tons of more compute (esp incl groung-based)
-
I do know that 'rocket science' is famously difficult, and should have maybe picked a later point (e.g. Gemini 6 & 7 rendez-vous in space). But it's more that once you have a prove-of-concept of targeted rocket-flight, it's pretty hard to deny it could also fly anywhere else.

to be fair they are probably worried that we’ll write the flight logic in javascript/nodeJS :)
-
I would be worried about it. Not just for NASA stuff

Did you mean "wouldn't"?

Pretty sure nasa has embraced open source, including nodejshttps://github.com/nasa/openmct
-
Garbage collection for safety systems is a very bad idea. Just shooting stats back on civilian devices is a different matter.

Heh. NASA has some insanely impressive open source.

Germans were using no computers at all to attack London with their V2 rockets (gradpas of Souz sent first human to space) during WWii. Gyroscopes, analog computers (much more powerful and better suited to solve differential equations compared to digital). Newer != Better.

What NASA needs from the tech industry is about a tenth of an Xbox.

So an IBox?

Nice, very nice.
