I just love the image of a spaceship hacked to do cartwheels in space while shunting power to its backup antenna to double the Tx rate. And that this was developed after it was already in space.
After this and watching Apollo 13 I now have the impression "hacking" is fundamental to space exploration.
- lelandbatey 12y agoYou should read the book "The Martian" by Andy Weir if you haven't already. Doing things in space can require a lot of hacking!

- teh_klev 12y agoThe Martian is a thoroughly agreeable read. I thought it might be a bit dry but it's interspersed with some really funny bits that made me laugh out loud.

- paulornothing 12y agoI like the cast, I hope it stays fairly true to the book.
