Fascinating and touching profile of NASA’s Galileo project, the people who persevered and the challenges that were overcome. The parts about the redesigned flight path, the broken high-gain antenna, the tape backup, and the complete software replacement via radio is just awe-inspiring. Goes to show you how simplicity and ingenuity are very valuable traits.
