His videos are really fun to watch.

It’s insane what these people do. They’re rewriting code from the 60s to use even less memory, have to test it in production without physical access, and it takes two days to see if anything changes. It’s an insane piece of engineering and it’s incredible that it’s still sending useful data.

I’d love to see what their test environments are like. You can’t test everything, but they can certainly test some things. A raspberry pi has more software capability.

They have a second probe in the shop to test. Thankfully.

That is really amazing. Way to go NASA.

I would like NASA to try to fix me now. I too am a socially isolated remote worker who occasionally says insane things

Edit: Guys, all of a sudden I feel different

Incredible! Can’t believe how long it’s been functioning for and how many obstacles it’s overcome. Truly a testament of human engineering

BAH GOD IT’S PLUTO WITH A STEEL CHAIR!

Surely the absence of nine indicates our model of gravity is off. Combined with lack of Dark Matter, is Einstein wrong?

No problem, just give them the money. 😀 👍

I hope the human race is destroyed before we have a chance to infect other planets.

Don’t worry we all will be long dead before that happens.

It’s a shame

There’s always something that gets compromised
