[00:00:00]Imagine a spacecraft millions of miles from Earth, no signal, no human control, making its own decisions in real time.

[00:00:07]NASA is making that a reality with a single chip small enough to fit in your palm. Their new high-performance spaceflight computing processor [music] has already tested at 500 times the power of chips currently flying in space. It's radiation-hardened, built to survive extreme temperatures, deep space particle strikes, and the brutal shock of planetary landings. With onboard AI, future spacecraft [music] won't need to wait minutes or hours for instructions from Earth. They'll react instantly on their own. Moon missions, Mars missions, deep space probes, the age of truly autonomous spacecraft starts with this chip.
