Five years ago I started getting these emails about #curl from NASA. Months later we learned this probably was related to them using curl in the Mars Helicopter mission.
@bagder
the one where instead of buying radiation-hardened chips, they radiation-tested 100 phone SoCs and picked the best one?
@buherator
I think RealEngineering's YouTube video about Ingenuity mentioned that, but didnt go into details
@bagder
@bagder They probably use curl more than my code in the kernel (I seriously doubt they're using my therm_adt746x iBook G4 thermostat driver on the helicopter).
But that earned me a github badge I can flex with.
@bagder Your answer was very thoughtful. And so cool that curl runs in space!
