NASA hears from Voyager 1, the most distant spacecraft from Earth, after months of quiet

actually a pretty cool story for my nerds out there. they never really lost contact with it.

one of the chips finally failed (remember it was made in the 70s). the chip was responsible for packaging up the health and science data. they remotely updated the firmware with the code from the failed chip, but since they're so limited in memory they had to spread it over a bunch of other chips.

so they inserted jmp instructions for a custom dynamic linking scheme, on the fly, from like 20 light-hours away, across other running chips..and pulled it off without segfaulting the damn thing

impressive as hell to be honest

So what did it have to say?

NASA is fake

They should send that money to Haiti instead

Make Pluto a planet again!!!! School told me it's a planet and that's it.

I’m glad channel 8 out of NO, most famously known for a retired opossum head (Bob) for a meteorologist, is on top of this. I hope the local talent is playing it up like the Viper Radar that was The Top of The Line.
