♫ We know of an ancient radiation,
That haunts dismembered constellations,
A faintly glimmering subspace station,
While Frank Sinatra sings Stormy Weather,
The Xindi and Tholian get along together,
Cobwebs fall on an old captain’s record~ ♫
I still cannot believe NASA managed to re-establish a connection with Voyager 1.
That scene from The Martian where JPL had a hardware copy of Pathfinder on Earth? That’s not apocryphal. NASA keeps a lot of engineering models around for a variety of purposes including this sort of hardware troubleshooting.
It’s a practice they started after Voyager. They shot that patch off into space based off of old documentation, blueprints, and internal memos.
You know Riker does an insufferably good classical Cake cover of Short Skant & A Long (Captain’s) Jacket.
