My understanding is that they sent V'Ger a command to do "something," and then the gibberish it was sending changed, and that was the "here's everything" signal.

And yeah, I'm calling it V'Ger from now on.

They specifically sent it a command to send a full memory dump after it went haywire. It wasn't a fluke.

Sure - I didn't know what "something" was. And what I'd read was that someone had to figure out that they were receiving a full memory dump, which suggested to me that they hadn't specifically asked for that.

Have my upvote.

Why haven't we been doing this already? I'm with you, let's make this happen!

Only so long as we ensure we keep a stable humpback whale population. I don't wanna be the guy that has to figure out how to make a temporal slingshot maneuver work.

This seems to be positive news on that front.

Are we really gonna have to have a time travel based Star Trek Movie for all the species out there to manage to get around to fixing climate change?

From what I read there was damage to the memory in certain places so they've had to move the code into spare places in memory.

It's an astounding feat tbh.

One specific chip had damaged memory
