The Software Update – The Insane Hack That Saved Voyager 1 [video]
4 points by daemonologist 1 month ago | 2 comments- daemonologist 1 month agoAn excellent video from Scott Manley about last year's fix of the Voyager 1 computer. Not related to the recent thruster fix.
Original title "The First Interstellar Software Update - The Insane Hack That Saved Voyager 1"; this combined with the [video] tag was too long, so I removed the "number + adjective" in accordance with the HN guidelines.
