JUICE GETS LAUNCHED ON 4/13??? YOU MEAN THE SATELLITE THAT INSPIRED THE CHARACTER FROM THE STORY EVERYONE

Every year Since like 2022 I reread 17776 and I havent yet this year and for a few months it was just cause I wanted to be patient (I think last year or the year before I read it in like January) but I started again in March and my master plan was to read it in my downtime in school but then our school got destroyed by a tornado and I just kinda stopped and I find that funny

it's so on brand that JUICE nearly launched on fucking 4/13 only for it to get delayed because of weather. still. it would have been very funny

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.

Foobaw. Foobaw. Foobaw. Foobaw. Foobaw. Foobaw. Foobaw. Foobaw. Foobaw. Foobaw. Foobaw. Foobaw. Foobaw. Foobaw. Foobaw. Foobaw. Foobaw. Foobaw. Foobaw. Foobaw.
