You'd be surprised actually, as computers start acting super unreliable under radiation, in which humans can function fairly normally
- p1esk 7y agoAccording to https://hps.org/publicinformation/ate/q11162.html https://hps.org/publicinformation/ate/q11162.html “It takes a radiation dose of about 5 Sv to cause death to most people. Diodes and computer chips will show very little functional detriment up to about 50 to 100 Sv“.
- rollingbarreler 6y agoIt's to note that "little functional detriment" contributes to a catastrophic failure in a digital system. A flip of a single bit can fell the thing you're trying to operate. Humans respond with much more delay and can usually complete most any mission, even if they die of complications later.
