I was struggling trying to think up any other plausible scenario, where one unit in a continiously operating piece of electronic /hard/soft ware was rebooted
after such a long time
and Voyager most likely has no competition
in this regard or in a number of others
sure speaks volumes for how well the nasa crew ,knew there stuff, and got it right
durring that era,on budget,on time, and now doing inter generational space research
making the actual designs and blue prints of the space craft, very much worth re examinining
