Congratulations to the engineers working on the original project all those years ago.
I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Ed Stone at a recent NASA event, one of those chief engineers, if only briefly. It really is stunning to think of these most-distant man-made objects and what it must be like where they are.
When I asked him how he felt knowing that something he worked on was so far away, his answer was quite short and honest in a humble engineering sort of way: "pretty fantastic"! So absolutely fantastic, indeed!
Whence has the spirit of exploration gone, and how can we keep it strong?
Oh, and when was the last time it needed a reboot?
