What makes more sense, the fact that what you say is true and yet the same group is capable of the frickup in the op or that all of it is bullshite anyway? Genius and ineptitude in the same building(which doesnt instill much faith in our belief system) or farce all around? Evidence has gradually began to align with farce. We can't even figure out how huge, seemingly basic structures like the pyramids were constructed or why yet we have spent trillions trying to figure out what's going on in the sky that we can't even touch or see ourselves. We trust what others see and illustrate for us. That doesn't seem smart knowing what we know of our leaders.

much like the moon landing, this is all being filmed on a sound stage in Nevada.

This is from the same agency that screwed up conversions between Metric and Imperial units and let a Mars Orbiter crash into the planet in the late 1990’s.
Fun fact, data transmission rates between the Voyager probes are so slow that the average speed is 160 bits per second. And on top of that, it takes 22/23 hours for data to reach the craft or send back data. You could send the wrong data up like in this case and not realize it for 2 days.

Yeah, back in his days NASA employees just forgot to convert units from imperial to metric and blew up the entire thing

We have a very good idea how they were constructed, it just would be dumb to say we know with 100% certainty because we don't have video evidence to prove it

The Voyager program is still the best bang for buck program ever initiated. IMO.
They don't built them like that anymore.

Sounds like the probe is getting a break from his wife and is none too unhappy about the nice little break.

as long as it wasn't some boring 50 something year old white engineer giving the correct instructions.

I’d like to think the real reason is an alien is fricking with us like we did with our dads and his tv antenna.
Posted on 8/1/23 at 6:32 am to wileyjones
Surprised it wasn't blamed on interstellar climate change.

Tradesmen of the world shitting on NASA engineers. I love the Internet.

It’s sad because if NASA wasn’t super focused on woke politics we could probably have gotten surface pictures of Neptune by now

Wait…. Didn’t Obama say that NASA’s mission was all about Muslims?
