That's cool.

When can I buy an SBC with one, that's within one base-10 order of magnitude of the Raspberry Pi's price?

I'm pretty sure that if you order 1 billion of them, they'll do you a good price.

Its an reference to the 'Rocket' program of Berkley. Also, overall Ariane is one of the savest rockets in human history.

Ariane is the name of an entire family of rockets that are still being launched today and are not generally known for being unreliable.

Ariane was the most competitive / succeful private launcher for 20 years even in face of American companies.

SpaceX is however currently disruptive them, like every other actor of the industry.

Ya, that's what I heard. After spaceX started doing better than them, they were having trouble because they didn't want to start using reusable rockets.

I love that the instruction decode unit's ability to command a flush on branch mispredicts is represented in the diagram as a toilet.

Ariane is also an EU rocket launcher, why do you want to shadow the name?
