Imagine if this were built with tech from today. It would be non-functional right after the warranty.

    Thankfully, NASA is non-profit so they won't ever do that.

    But it’s got 70 terabits of storage! We closed over 1700 issues on this thing! My god we must have spent 13 billion on it so far!

    How can it be failing? I mean just … just … look at the numbers!
