... the engineers from those far-off days at JPL are about to save the bacon of the current generation at NASA with their work.

So somewhere out there in interstellar space beyond the boundary of the Solar System is a card frame full of 74 logic that’s been quietly keeping an eye on a star since the early 1970s, and the engineers from those far-off days at JPL are about to save the bacon of the current generation at NASA with their work. We hope that there are some old guys in Pasadena right now with a spring in their step.

Related. There is a doc on NFLX about the James Webb launch, and it's very good. 344 single point failures had to be navigated for success. -- nm - rollo 🐙 Aug 1, 12:31
