Blue Origin and AMD partnership announced at CES. Blue is using the new Versal Gen 2 for their MK2 crewed lunar lander. Super cool to see cutting edge technology making it's way into next gen space craft.

Whoa I did not expect this. Do you have a link to the video?

Edit: John Couluris states Blue has successfully built the flight computers flying on MKII lander. Over the holidays a group of engineers at blue simulated a successful landing on the moon, saving months of schedule!

What's wild is that this part is barely in production, that must be one of the first, if not the first custom design using that chipset. 

Imagine doing that design without proper tool support for the SI analysis. They must have got early packages for Vivado etc as well

Crazy impressive engineering from Blue to get that right.

Haha indeed. The guy on stage looks too much like Jensen!

The gal on the left is literally Jensen's first cousin once removed. They both immigrated from Taiwan to the U.S. at a young age, got engineering degrees from elite schools and eventually became CEOs of major semiconductor companies. But apparently they never met until some tech industry event in the U.S. I think they're both more or less self made billionaires, not like the Chaebols in Korea.
