Wow! Reading this after watching PHM I almost cried...again.

Now, this is what impressed me the most: ""... and wrote software flexible enough to be updated from Earth decades after launch.."

What's PHM

		Project Hail Mary. It's a sci-fi novel by Andy Weir (author of The Martian) that was adapted into a movie that released in theaters a couple weeks ago. It's fantastic and you should totally read/watch it.
