Voyager 1 Modern CI System
Nasa are currently working to fix a computer error aboard Voyager 1. The probe's computer system runs at around 8000 instructions per second and has about 68kB of memory. Due to the interplanetary distances involved, even at light speed it takes 45 hours to send a signal and get a response. When asked about the unique challenges this poses, an engineer said "that's actually about average for a modern CI system".
A screenshot-style joke describes NASA repairing Voyager 1, whose ancient computer has only 68kB of memory and a 45-hour communication delay. The punchline compares this extreme space-computing problem to the supposedly ordinary frustrations of a modern CI system, making it a reaction for developers dealing with slow builds, broken pipelines, or outdated infrastructure.
