It's tempting to shit all over Boeing and NASA over the debacle, but the engineering team worked very hard under intensely political conditions and it did fulfill a fully autonomous return with no real problems. It did not meet NASA's criteria for a crewed return, but all of this is fixable.

While we were not watching, the Voyager 1 spacecraft underwent another surgery.

In August, V1 switched thrusters used for orientation control, because the fuel tubes in the thrusters had clogged up with residue.

To perform the switch, the thrusters had to be warmed by turning on its heaters while turning off another set for an hour.

All very tricky and risky operations, performed from 22.8 light-hours away on 1970’s era hardware.

Kudos again to the Voyager team.

I don't know why, but I really enjoy watching Thomas pottering about parts of Germany in his Trabant.

I keep seeing Stellaris on sale on Steam, and read it as 'Stellantis', which I imagine is a management sim where you take storied automotive brands and run them into the ground

We monitor traffic to www.bbc.co.uk & www.bbc.com per country & got alerts that daily requests from Angola have dropped off loads recently.

Looking at the Angola traffic split by network AS. AS36907 traffic looks suspicious! Spidey sense triggered...the "before" traffic was *way* too consistent.

Digging in to the logs, looks like they removed their Fortigates on 6th Sept. which'd been sending 343k req/day for www.bbc.co.uk/ , every single day!

Gotta love being on the internet!
