How is rad6k relevant to Mars?[edit]

Just because rad6k was used on a Mars spaceship doesn't mean that the view that the Mars template should be transcluded here should be advanced because there is no high enough relevance to Mars to warrant such an action. Useful templates here would be ones related to the Power Isa or other electronics concepts, but a Mars template? Not relevant imo. Sofia Koutsouveli (talk) 18:06, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I concur. I can only guess why it was added, and it was probably aded since NASA and IBM was really pounding home the fact that they used RAD6000 in their Mars missions and that they thought that it was such an integral part of the success. But that's more of a marketing reason than a objective reason as to why include the template here. -- Henriok (talk) 10:40, 24 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

How was it radiation hardened[edit]
