So now they are going to send engineers to fix/ replace the unit?
Letting a billion dollar piece of equipment go to waste is not very good either.
Pac man iq right here.
I think the pellets he's been swallowing up were little bits of his brain
Coming from arch Linux, I can relate to that.
Please tell me this is a shitpost.
There are dozens of satellites, and, o' how ironic that I have mistook this for the reachable ones !
Cut me some slack, I have been reading nothing but books about coding for the past year or so, okay !?
But it's the VOYAGER Engelbert!
Wags finger disapprovingly
Lol name me 3 of the core components that make up for the structure of the voyager.
The antennae, the dish and the computing stuff.
You kept the bar too low 😂😂😂

Hehehehehe
The last time I ever read about it was in 3rd grade 😂. So this is definitely the extent of my knowledge 😂😂😂
Books about coding? Could you tell the 00’s I said hi?

The engineers would die of old age before they even caught up to it.
Yep, but it will take them 46 years to fix.
Well considering how far it is.. I can only imagine that they are going to let it go due to redundancy. And yet the notion does not escape my mind.
Who knows what solutions we might come up with in the future ?
