Yea but can you imagine how long that thing takes to load a JPEG?
That’s a long way still only 1/374th of a light year, to keep things in perspective.
Holy shit, that’s insane
I thought it hit a light day away a couple years ago, or was that Voyager 2?

Google would be the worst partner for any space related work. We plan on launching in 4 years. Oh, Google says they redesigned it, oh, now it needs updates. 3 years, 11 mo later… Google cancelled the program, we need to find another partner.

October 20st, 2023: NASA’s Voyager Team Focuses on Software Patch, Thrusters
The team is also uploading a software patch to prevent the recurrence of a glitch that arose on Voyager 1 last year. Engineers resolved the glitch, and the patch is intended to prevent the issue from occurring again in Voyager 1 or arising in its twin, Voyager 2.
…
Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 have traveled more than 15 billion and 12 billion miles from Earth, respectively. At those distances, the patch instructions will take over 18 hours to travel to the spacecraft. Because of the spacecraft’s age and the communication lag time, there’s some risk the patch could overwrite essential code or have other unintended effects on the spacecraft. To reduce those risks, the team has spent months writing, reviewing, and checking the code. As an added safety precaution, Voyager 2 will receive the patch first and serve as a testbed for its twin. Voyager 1 is farther from Earth than any other spacecraft, making its data more valuable.
test in production taken to whole another level
but can it run out of the solar system?
It already did. Many times.
sus
Agree, hard to run with no legs in a vacuum.
I can fit DOOM on one of them there spayce probes.

I could fit DOOM on one of them there spayce probes yonder.
Ok but what about the shareholders?
“Space billionaires”
No they’re still on Earth actually, though they’re running on software written in the 50s
That’s impressive, but in the end there is only one question:
Can it run Crysis?
I thought the benchmark was whether it can play Doom?
No, everything can run Doom.
If this computer from the 1950s can play DOOM, I’m gonna say there’s a good chance the Voyager computer can: https://youtu.be/no0CkQk7id0
Dude! This is rad!
I thought I’d just check it out and move on, but the subject, aspects and video editing pulled me in more. Solid video share! =D
Except ur mom because she’s so fat she can’t run.
Sorry, a joke from the Doom era escaped…
Her pacemaker can run it though
Her vibrator can as well.
I’m kinda surprised there isn’t an old Newgrounds animation based off this concept.
Now.
Nothing can run Crysis properly…
What about Deep Blue?
Real crisis has never been tried before
Voyager 3 will stop working halfway to Mars because it’ll try to verify the subscription status with us-east-1 and get a timeout.
And it’ll blow up half way into the sky because it was sent up by SpaceX.
PRESS PLAY ON TAPE
Someone will try to run Doom on it.
But can it run Crysis?
Only VGR can do that.
It’s a hippy. On a road trip. It’s memory is the size of a thimble. It’s listening to hippy music.
And it’s far out, man.
And it’s far out, man.
I wonder if any aliens ever ran into this, if they’d be like wow, this tech is so low, let’s not bother with who sent it.
Or if they’d be like, it looks like it took 100 years to get here, let’s see what they did in 100 years.
They’d discover humanity peaked in 1999 and decide it is best to just leave us alone.
Probably the second one
But, but… How do we extract value from it? No micro transactions? No ad revenue? Can we sell it? Write it off as a loss? Is there at least a credit card reader so aliens can sign up for recurring payments?
It’s a moonshot in that it has a very tiny likelihood of attracting alien intelligence that is such a game changer that it brings an unfathomable amount of wealth to our planet.
Allien Intelligence = potential investors and potential shareholder value. They could also destroy the planet.
They’re already bought puts for the case…
Plus if the documentaries, “2012” and snowpiercer have taught us anything. It’s that the rich will survive.
I’d argue that the type of people who make those investment decisions often don’t put the proper weight on “destroy the planet” risk when calculating their expected value.
Jokes on us, investors and shareholders are already doing that.
