I'm still profoundly confused what any of this has to do with Linux,
but this is a terribly funny thing to say; every major accomplishment
in automated space exploration has been made with the combination of
extraordinarily talented software engineers and simple, robust hardware
doing more with less. Voyager 2 is *still operating,* and that's
running a combination of 16/18-bit hardware implemented in discrete
logic, for the love of Mike; it's the Guinness record holder for
longest continually-operating computer. "Heavy AI tools," my ass.
