I’ve often seen ‘Good Night Oppy’ on Prime, and have been meaning to watch it. Thanks for the recommendation.
I’ve watched this documentary. It’s excellent. We need a new generation of engineers and innovators that made this project possible. Will we ever see their likes again?
Watched it a while ago. Very nicely done documentary. Recommended.
I’d sooner pee on an electric fence than endure the sights and sounds of Stewart and/or Colbert.
I’ve finally watched ‘Good Night Oppy’, and I want to thank you again for reminding me of it.
It’s a wonderful documentary, and the technology and the accomplishments of the people who made the mission possible are amazing. (And it has made me think further about the future possibilities of AI - even though the dangers of it still scare the heck out of me.)
Requiscat in pace, Oppy.
