> The comprehensive federal review of JPL’s systems stemmed from an April 2018 incident when someone at JPL attached the Raspberry Pi to the network there for an unknown purpose

Basically, someone plugged in a computer to the corporate network that happened to be a Raspberry Pi. Might as well have been a Beaglebone, a Banana Pi or an Intel NUC for that matter.

JPL builds robots and robots are made from SBCs.
If JPL is using a Pi off of Earth, they're doing it wrong. Stability in space requires a little more care (it's hot, cold, particle-y, etc).
As TRL progresses, the hardware changes. Nobody buys RAD750 for each of their new ideas.
No one said anything even remotely close to that.
