Anyway, it's wild to me that we still have comms and control over these machines launched in 1977 which continue to work to this day at unfathomable distances, temporary blackouts notwithstanding.
Wow, the title is an incredible example of clickbait. Hell, the whole article rubber-bands between the two extremes of a 'routine, instructed maneuver' yet calling it 'unplanned' and a 'glitch' in...
