Engineers are confident that shutting down the LECP will give Voyager 1 about a year of breathing room. They are using the time to finalize a more ambitious energy-saving fix for both Voyagers they call “the Big Bang,” which is designed to further extend Voyager operations. The idea is to swap out a group of powered devices all at once — hence the nickname — turning some things off and replacing them with lower-power alternatives to keep the spacecraft warm enough to continue gathering science data.
Why can’t we be as forward thinking as the people who created the voyager probes?
Now please show an inflation adjusted graph or better one that shows in percentage how much each fraction owns of the wealth pie.
There is no way that disparity is that close.
The chart is at about 1.5% of displaying a billionaire, with Muskrat being 800,000 higher than the top of this chart. The 1% are not the problem, the practically unbounded wealth of those above this chart is our problem, the world’s problem.
Voyager 1 was launched in 1977 - just before the Reagan era. Coincidence?
Also, and I’m still just guessing here, it’s probably the culmination of the space race to the moon minus the pressure to be there before the Russians.
In other words, NASA’s Golden Age.
not enough engineers use LSD anymore because they’ll lose their entire career over it and be blacklisted from government contracts forever.
the McCarthys won.
