  "Lisping at the JPL" is one of my favourite stories (all-time favourite, not just computery favourite). https://flownet.com/gat/jpl-lisp.html https://flownet.com/gat/jpl-lisp.html > Debugging a program running on a $100M piece of hardware that is 100 million miles away is an interesting experience. Having a read-eval-print loop running on the spacecraft proved invaluable in finding and fixing the problem. The story of the Remote Agent bug is an interesting one in and of itself.
