April 9, 20241 yr Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee ( D-TX) once sat on the House Science Committee and the House Space Committee. But understanding astronomy seems to elude her. Jackson Lee explained to the crowd, "You have the energy of the moon at night.” "And sometimes you’ve heard the word ‘full moon,’…Sometimes you need to take the opportunity just to come out and see a full moon,” which she then explained is a "complete rounded circle which is made up mostly of gases.”

April 23, 20241 yr Voyager 1 Is Finally Making Sense Again Scientists are finally getting engineering data that is not gibberish. https://www.iflscience.com/voyager-1-is-finally-making-sense-again-73926 Quote In March, the team sent a poke to the spacecraft and got back another weird message. But that time, it contained everything in the FDS memory, all of its code as well as science and engineering data. From that, they were able to understand the problem and find a solution: There is a single faulty chip that stores a portion of the FDS memory and some of its code. We can’t simply repair a chip on a spacecraft that is 24 billion kilometers (15 billion miles) from Earth. So the team had to migrate the affected code elsewhere, and adjust the code so that the system would function and not end up using the damaged portion. Given its distance, it takes a long time to get anything to the probe and back. Voyager 1 is 22.5 light-hours away. They sent the first fix on April 18, and on April 20 got a reply – and it looks like it worked. They had a clear readout. This is extremely good news after months of challenging work and uncertainty. The team is at work to complete the full restructure of the FDS software. Once that is completed, Voyager 1 will once again restart its scientific mission collecting data from interstellar space. Woohoo!!! This is astounding. This is probably the longest running computer in existence, and also the farthest from Earth.
April 23, 20241 yr Still love the V'ger plot twist of the OG Star Trek movie, with the actual probes having launched just 2 years prior to the movie releasing in theaters.
