So basically synthesize this custom chip on an FPGA and port linux to it?

1. Solder CPUs

Nasa probably wants some rockstar coder that lives and breathes code

Try making an app or something related to space. Point your phone's camera at an airplane and show the airplane's details.

I'd like to see a simple sim where you can control a robot on the surface of the moon. With physics and stuff, as realistic as possible.

>computer science internship at Nasa.

Firstly make sure you are using google ultron.

Maybe a GUI of the solar system with semi accurate distances.

Maybe you would input a distance from earth and it would estimate the cost/R&D or maybe just the time it would take to get there with current tech?

Pretty stumped on this desu, anything you could show them would look like a teenagers text adventure game
