BAZ Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I saw this and thought how well this little machine has done, and if they can get this done, it will increase it's life span even further. http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/189081-the-ultimate-remote-admin-nasa-will-reformat-opportunitys-dodgy-flash-memory-from-125-million-miles-away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tweedledum Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 (edited) Nice find Martyn,I Thought NASA would have more sense then to use W8. Was at a conerefence where a bod from Microsoft copied Bills spout about that if the motor industry was like windows, by now a car would travel at 200 mph, use no fuel, and drive itself. Whereupon one wag shouted back 'yes and crash every three seconds killing the occupants!' Edited September 3, 2014 by Tweedledum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xanthic Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Very impressive that it's lasted so long in such a harsh environment. Let's hope they can get it up and running again for another 10 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusty Strings Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Just goes to show that you wouldn't use cutting edge technology in such a situation. A friend of mine, who got me into PC building when the 486 was intel's flagship processor, said "it's ok, but you wouldn't fly a space shuttle with it".
