#2“Last week the operations team commanded Hubble to perform numerous maneuvers, or turns, and switched the gyro between different operational modes, which successfully cleared what was believed to be blockage between components inside the gyro”
And here I am on Earth, barely capable of debugging JavaScript code.

#3Because NASA is awesome.

They've probably done a "bang it with a hammer" equivalent.

I shake my phone vigorously if the small motor gets stuck and stops buzzing.

If as much education was required of software engineers as it is from people who work on the Hubble telescope then you wouldn't have any troubles debugging JavaScript.

It's also fun to compare programming to surgery, where they work for hours straight with no backup on a production system that is actively trying to die.

#8Amazing. It's like they performed the Epley Maneuver on a satellite.

If JavaScript was specified to the same degree as the Hubble telescope then the OP wouldn't have had a problem. Blaming gdubs's education is a bit problematic.

with your javascript you can cmd+r over and over again until you figure it out. with the hubble they had to simulate and hypothesize/imagine possible solutions. It's the same process just a different medium for solving problems and they generally get only 1 chance to press cmd+r
