Wouldn’t that be just the most beautiful gesture of anonymous goodwill?

No desire to make contact. No comments. Just fixing our broken toy and sending it on its way.

Wow, I really didnt think they would be able to fix Voyager 1's computer!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Voyager's computers may be no match for what we have today, but they were sturdy as hell.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

We could realistically make a computer that was as robust as Voyager's that was more powerful using more modern techniques, but it's amazing how much we did with so little not very long ago.
