it is fascinating that I basically can never show this slide without having someone pointing out a new one I should add...

The same thing does *not* happen when I show this slide

@bagder why does a Mars robot have cURL in its codebase? Do you know exactly why the use it? Sounds like URLs do not work (well?) in space....

@mdione @bagder It also could be that it was used locally for inter-component communications.

@jima @bagder Mars rovers use micro services? Well, it _does_ make sense...

@mdione @bagder I have no idea; I was more thinking about distinct physical subsystems (driving system, long-distance comms, mass spectrometer, cameras, etc) than, say, containers. I haven't dug into it, though. 🤔

@jima @bagder micro services not necessarily run on containers. They _can_ be running on different systems, yes. Maybe even it's more like distributed systems that talk HTTP? Still, feels like a waste of internal bandwidth and computer power to talk in URLs up there.... but maybe I'm just exaggerating.

In any case, until someone tells us what they used cURL for, all we say is speculation :)
