and aeroplanes cost ....
sure, a lot of it is for the mechanical construction, but as expensive
as those Studer consoles are, I think I'd rather pay that than the
cost implied by what I understand would be involved in an
aeroplane-like system.
related note: a friend of mine who worked for the JPL for a while told
me a few years back that NASA had not yet sent a computer any more
powerful than a classic Mac into space. They just didn't believe they
could build one that would be reliable enough. Its a testament to what
you can do with limited hardware, and also to the range of
reliabilities that we work with. I think that this may have changed
recently, BTW, but only for the non-critical systems on the shuttle.
