they did think of it. lots of people have. I just mentioned what was required. Rad hardened processors are usually 10 to 20 times slower than what we have on the surface
So don't use rad-hardened processors, put them in a radiation vault instead. Those become more mass-efficient the more hardware you're putting inside them.
Really, I assure you the people proposing these things have put more thought and expertise into it than a bunch of random Fediverse commentators.
