Radiation hardened hardware has shielding and larger components.
That depends on the degree of hardening. It is not black and white. You are never going to make it 100% impervious.
You simply can't harden chips like the RPi uses
You most certainly can. There are some simple fixes that can make a big difference.
Checksumming doesn't fix errors, it detects them.
Once you detect an error, you can often fix it. You can re-run a calculation, or reload a program from flash, or whatever.
