Doctor MemoryIf they get Voyager 1 working again, this will go down in history as the absolute pinnacle of the art of debugging. You think _your_ codebase and kubernetes cluster is hard to deal with? Motherfucker try doing this with a delay of light-hours.
If there’s an award for this it should be in the shape of Margaret Hamilton standing next to a pile of printouts taller than her. https://fosstodon.org/@AkaSci/112091847867604195

Attached: 1 image Good news from the Voyager 1 spacecraft that has been stuck sending a 0101 pattern since Nov 2023. The team has long suspected the root cause to be a corrupted area of memory in the FDS computer. On Mar 1, they sent some commands to make the FDS skip around sections of memory. The data stream rcvd 45 hours later looked different and was decoded to contain a read-out of the entire FDS memory! Hopefully, they can now identify and fix the offending memory words. 🤞 https://blogs.nasa.gov/sunspot/ 14/n
