Anyone ever sometimes think, that there's an alien species that kinda feels a little paternal towards us and keeps fixing out Tonka Toys because it makes us happy?

Screw thanking aliens, it's an incredible team of engineers that have the skills and dedication to do what seems impossible. This was 100% humanity at its best.

They rebuilt the most critical core code on a near antique spacecraft that has effectively left the solar system over an equally ancient radio link. They had 1 shot, and nailed it.

Exactly. If there's anything that we can point to and say "humanity, fuck yeah" this is it. Giving thanks to aliens or to gods is an insult to the hard work of the HUMANS that accomplished this.

This is disrespectful towards the achievements of the human race. My father kept attributing all of our recent technology to "the findings at roswell" and i have very strong feelings towards this position.

Absolute Chad.

Provided we engineer them well, this is good news for truly deep space operations. Cosmic radiation and interplanetary gasses could (and probably do) wreak havoc on various materials, but apparently technology from the 70s is capable of handling it very long term.

Now if we could just get out of these squishy meat suits we'd be in business.

I try to diagnose the carburetor in my 50 year old Jeep sitting right in front of me, and I still can't get it running right.

These people are amazing, and the people that built that so it can still be fixed out in the Oort Cloud were even better.
