Feel Free To Boop Me

Y'all, the world is sleeping on what NASA just pulled off with Voyager 1

The probe has been sending gibberish science data back to Earth, and scientists feared it was just the probe finally dying. You know, after working for 50 GODDAMN YEARS and LEAVING THE GODDAMN SOLAR SYSTEM and STILL CHURNING OUT GODDAMN DATA.

So they analyzed the gibberish and realized that in it was a total readout of EVERYTHING ON THE PROBE. Data, the programming, hardware specs and status, everything. They realized that one of the chips was malfunctioning.

So what do you do when your probe is 22 Billion km away and needs a fix? Why, you just REPROGRAM THAT ENTIRE GODDAMN THING. Told it to avoid the bad chip, store the data elsewhere.

Sent the new code on April 18th. Got a response on April 20th - yeah, it's so far away that it took that long just to transmit.

And the probe is working again.

From a programmer's perspective, that may be the most fucking impressive thing I have ever heard.

can you imagine. 17776 but instead of juice we get. jimo. jim-o. jim

i think 17776 counts in this regard (cough cough florida cough cough nyc)

why does postapocalyptic media even ever try to deal with anything other than the united states. like. we are number one (in the department of being incredibly corrupt, having companies and capital controlling politics over than actual politicials, having an incredibly unsafe environment for the people living inside the country, and always starting war shit)

(sorry for switching up the blog, im a bad tumblrer) WHAT IS THIS SUPER BOOP YOU HAVE GIVEN ME

i think the best pitch for 17776 is “trust me” i think people should go in not knowing what kinds of entities are communicating in the calender portion
