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.

I am the very model of a modern fallen Londoner Of wonders of the Neath I am a long-established wanderer I've met the Traitor Empress and I've delved the Sunken Embassy And I have zailed to nearly every island on the Unterzee. I'm very well acquainted, too, with matters of Parabolans. I've traveled through the mirrors and waged wars with their inhabitants. I've had the strangest dreams and I know others who have dreamed of them For I have stayed for many evenings in the Royal Bethlehem!
