Screw thanking aliens, it's an incredible team of engineers that have the skills and dedication to do what seems impossible. This was 100% humanity at its best.
They rebuilt the most critical core code on a near antique spacecraft that has effectively left the solar system over an equally ancient radio link. They had 1 shot, and nailed it.
Exactly. If there's anything that we can point to and say "humanity, fuck yeah" this is it. Giving thanks to aliens or to gods is an insult to the hard work of the HUMANS that accomplished this.
Exactly. NASA has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that there is no God, the earth is a ball, we can trust our governments and large institutions, and manned space flight was a '70s trend back when the economy was better. We still have them to thank for Velcro and Tang my dudes
Did they have eeproms in the 70s? It's just mind blowing. These nerds are next level.
Naw, so Apollo was built with curtain rods and used candles for thrust
Yes ra ra NASA is totally legit and a shining example of the best achievements of humanity for sure. Nothing sketchy about it. It is amazing though to think how manned space flight is the only technology to not only lack progress in the last 60 years, but has actually regressed. I really wish these hero scientists could get back to working on manned space flight so we can ditch this whirling spaceball
