[quote]How do you think satellites work?[/quote] With specially made processors ("While normal commercial-grade chips can withstand between 50 and 100 gray (5 and 10 krad), space-grade SOI and SOS chips can survive doses between 1000 and 3000 gray (100 and 300 krad)." (ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation_hardening). But this protection comes at a huge cost (200k $, not latest generation) (ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAD750). And you will not get some super computer performance for that money either, not to mention the rest of the components will be quite expensive as well.
