      Yeah, that was seriously impressive. I worked flight ops for a while. I couldn’t imagine having to re-flash software from that far away.

        I know the frustration of trying to reprogram cheap Chinese esp32 knock offs that refuse to enter bootloader mode. Those nasa guys have to be some of the most patient people on earth. Up there with special education teachers.
