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

Have my upvote.

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

I realize the Voyager project may not be super well funded today (how is it funded, just general NASA funds now?), just wondering what they have hardware-wise (or ever had). Certainly the Voyager system had to have precursors (versions)?

Or do they have a simulator of it today - we're talking about early 70's hardware, should be fairly straightforward to replicate in software? Perhaps some independent geeks have done this for fun? (I've read of some old hardware such as 8088 being replicated in software because some geeks just like doing things like that).

I have no idea how NASA functions with old projects like this, and I'm surely not saying I have better ideas - they've probably thought of a million more ways to validate what they're doing.

Or th /S tag is added

Wait, pretty sure I saw this demonstrated by a small startup almost 20 years ago.

"All cheap smartphones have fingerprint sensors"

That is what's known as begging the question.

Could also be considered a strawman in this case.

Ah, Ye Olde sophist personal attack, the bastion of those with no argument to make.

Welp, you've convinced me.

Republicans didn't invite people to come here illegally.

Bingo!

It's the "identity" thing that fouls up so much today.

"You have to accept everything do because it's my identity".

Um, no, I don't have to "accept" anything about you. Nor do you have to "accept" anything about me. Hell, I figured this out when I was five. Fine, you don't like something about me? Then I won't waste my time with you. Thanks for making it clear.

How do you know someone's a vegan?

Don't worry, they'll tell you.

Same with any evangelical.

And it's history stems from religious ideology.

Edit: oh you downvoters. Go look it up. A woman had a vision from God that said "don't eat things with faces". Dead serious - that's where it started.

All the sciencey justifications today are post-hoc rationalization.

It's pretty bad.

Interesting concept, but the movie leaves out critical plot points from the book, making it harder to understand.

Incredible effects for the time.
