I recently picked up a Framework 13 AMD and it is one of the best laptops I have ever bought.
The power via USB-C ports are properly balanced with having a top left or top right port. That simple design makes it more user friendly when you are in dynamic environments; lying on a couch vs at a desktop vs some where random.
Most other OEMs place it on one or the other side.
No Microsoft Tax for a OS I will never personal run!
The high-level tasks are beyond what any single intern could reasonably hope to complete over a summer.
Obviously a space agency has to set ambitious goals, but this is just unreasonable.
I don't get how they want to solve high performance with radiation hardening, which requires slow performance. They'll use 12nm Global Foundries CPU dies and DDR4 RAM, which is far from radiation hardened. So it looks like it's enjoying fault tolerance. Which started with the shuttle program, using many off the shelf fast CPU's and RAM, observing each other, instead of slow hardened CPU's and RAM.
