He worked on the Cassini mission in the 90s?
Or did he work on the Apollo mission that used the Saturn rocket?

Nice.

Very cool regardless.

I can write code that could help her get to Uranus

Damn crazy how all that was done to put things in space, and yet we cant code a vehicle to get better gas mileage, using all the tech we have now.

That was back in the day when we wouldnt drop things out until they were perfect. "Updates" have ruined that need to roll things out perfectly.

I genuinely think people then were smarter. Technology has made things easy today and while good..reliance on it dumbs people down. Nobody hardly knows how to manually do things anymore.

Internet went out at my office last week for 3 days and my secretary did nothing but bitch because she couldn’t scan and email the bills to the bank to get them paid and said we can’t pay them until ATT gets our internet back up.

I was like you know you can overnight mail them right? Her “ohhhhh”

I think that people these days know more as a whole, with such easy access to so much information, but people these days don't know how to do more, if that makes any sense. People were more self-sufficient, and resourceful.

Is that the program that almost got Armstrong and Aldrin killed with its inopportune 1202 alarm?
