NASA’s interstellar Voyager probes get software updates beamed from 12 billion miles away::A few updates to the two Voyager spacecraft should extend the space explorers’ lives so they can continue adventuring in the cosmos.

Oof yeah. When I update a Cisco firewall remotely it’ll go offline for around 30 minutes to around two hours where it is completely unreachable. In the time window I’m desperately watching a continuous ping to see if it comes back up okay. If it does, I’m done. If it doesn’t, it means I need to go into work and probably spend several hours on the phone trying to fix it.
Can’t imagine the stress of trying to update something that is almost 20 light hours away.
