    hello birdie, still posting all that whacky noise you seem to love, including this post where you reference NASA and what it says about climate change then post commentary from some random dude supposedly addressing NASA's comments, but which don't at all.

    so, bỉrdbrain has a lash at NASA but ends up with egg on face. Why do you do it to yourself and other muppets, birdie?

    NASA you'll recall is one of the world's leading science agency, and likes to develop knowledge and expertise in and of everything where we live. This of course puts the agency onto a collision course with dweebs who imagine their misinformed opinions have value, which of course they don't: they're just word salad.

    the following is the start of a piece now running on ABC News app about a problem NASA faced with it's Voyager-1 space craft. It's expertise makes climate deniers look like Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble.

    it's difficult for me to imagine the arrogance and stupidity of climate denying anonymous posters on HC questioning the expertise of science agencies such as NASA, but they live amongst us.

    ABC NEWS

    "NASA's Voyager 1 probe — the most distant man-made object in the universe — is returning usable information to ground control following months of spouting gibberish, the US space agency says.

    "The spaceship stopped sending readable data back to Earth on November 14, 2023, even though controllers could tell it was still receiving their commands.

    "In March, teams working at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory discovered that a single malfunctioning chip was to blame.

    "They then had to devise a clever coding fix that worked within the tight memory constraints of its 46-year-old computer system.

    ""There was a section of the computer memory no longer working," project leader Dr Linda Spilker told the ABC. "So we had to reprogram what was in that memory, move it to a different location, link everything back together and send everything up in a patch."And then on Saturday morning, we watched as Voyager 1 sent its first commands back and we knew we were back in communication once again."

    "Dr Spilker said they were receiving engineering data, so they knew the health and safety of the spacecraft.

    ""The next step is going to be to develop a patch so we can send back the science data," she said."That will really be exciting, to once again learn about interstellar space and what has been going on there that we've missed since November."

    "Dr Spilker said Voyager sent back data in real time, so the team had no facility to retrieve data covering the time since transmission was lost.

    "Launched in 1977, Voyager 1 was mankind's first spacecraft to enter the interstellar medium, in 2012, and is currently more than 24 billion kilometres from Earth. Messages sent from Earth take about 22.5 hours to reach the spacecraft."
