Step 1.) Send a command
Step 2.) Go to lunch
Step 3.) ???
Step 4.) Get back pretty pictures from mars
Didn’t forget debugging, diagnosing, and reprogramming Voyage which has left the solar system.
Yeah, that was seriously impressive. I worked flight ops for a while. I couldn’t imagine having to re-flash software from that far away.
Not only that, but on a computer that’s in an unknown broken state
I know the frustration of trying to reprogram cheap Chinese esp32 knock offs that refuse to enter bootloader mode. Those nasa guys have to be some of the most patient people on earth. Up there with special education teachers.
I’m gonna need you to tell me step 0. I followed your instructions to the letter and all I got out of it was a very confused lunch.
Well, first you invent the universe
Okay… Maybe step 0.9?
Do they have to race 12 year olds high on sugar and Adderall?
Come to think of it, who are the real aliens?
I’d be a lot more impressed in people were shooting at NASA’s robots.
I’m obsessed with the idea of a slow-paced FPS game now. Imagine logging in once or twice a day, picking a shot and seeing if whoever it is is still there the next day.
Once I had a board game that was a lot like this. You controlled robots on a board, and had to plan out like 5 operations (turn/step/…) each round. Chaos ensues when you have 4 people hindering (or trying to) each other.
RoboRally!
You may want to check out Superhot. It’s not nearly that slow, but the whole have runs in extreme slow motion.
Well NASA is essentially botting. It’s not like they need to sit there and give it every input. They tell it what to do and it follows a program. I could bot with that much ping if my bit is running locally on the game’s servers. Basically: NASA is full of cheaters.
In my day, we wish we had 100 ping. Kids these days think they’re hot shit.
For me these days my ping still jumps between 300 and 1k. 80ms is a good day
Good job there aren’t any bunnyhopping Martians to shoot with it.
As far as we know so far…
You made up a bullshit punchline just to use this image didn’t you
Voyager has entered the chat
I understand that Voyager is nearly one light day away, but I can’t comprehend it.
It seeks the Creator.
Now THAT was the Voyager reboot we didn’t know we all wanted until it dropped.
If I get under 300ms ping it’s a good day.
Don’t let your ping hold you back. I bought one of the COD games a few years ago and my PC would not run it no matter what I did with the settings (I think my processor was the problem). Usually it crashed before I even got into a game but I was actually able to join 2 of them and it was like playing a PowerPoint presentation of COD. The one game I actually able to finish I was still in the middle of the pack for k/d…
