It always amazes me that they’re able to do so much for voyager after all these years. Had I been the one to make it, I’d be like “space junk now” after the first problem because I doubt I would have come up with all the amazing redundancies they did.

Considering it’s operating without backup since 1982, we’re incredibly lucky that system hadn’t failed until now.

The manufacturer deserve some credit too.

I think I take exception to the adjective “bad” in the title. Failing after 45+ years in service is pretty damn good, I think.
