The ultimate legacy code success story! NASA engineers managed to resurrect communication with Voyager 1—a spacecraft launched in 1977 and now cruising 25 billion kilometers into the void—using documentation written by engineers who are probably enjoying retirement by now. Imagine debugging a system that's older than most programming languages while it's literally traveling through interstellar space! That's like finding your grandpa's handwritten recipe and successfully baking a cake with ingredients from another galaxy. The fact that those blue-shirted mission control folks are celebrating instead of sobbing in a corner is the real scientific miracle here.
