I learned a new concept

Graceful degradation is the ability of a computer, machine, electronic system or network to maintain limited functionality even when a large portion of it has been destroyed or rendered inoperative. The purpose of graceful degradation is to prevent catastrophic failure. (Tech Target, first result on the search engine)

[biglawbear]

Literal opposite of planned obsolescence. I love you graceful degradation.

[gallusrostromegalus]

Oh neat the first time I heard of the concept the guy described it to me as "catastrophic functionality".

He was talking about it in the context of designing robots that would go in and stop nuclear reactor meltdowns, something that would 100% destroy the robot, but they would be designed to keep functioning and fighting the meltdown for as long as possible. He had some designs where over 80% of the robot has died and it was functionally dragging its corpse around by its one working arm because one more minute of functionality might save thousands.

I've been having a few bad years mental health wise, and thinking about those robots a lot .

This is also why NASA missions usually keep going so long after schedule. They are *masters* of graceful degradation, able to keep machines limping along on minimal power and after sustaining heavy damage

i love how this is one of the rare shots where grace is at peace, and it's because he's accepted that he's going home to rocky :3

“God never meant man to be a purely spiritual creature. That is why He uses material things like bread and wine to put new life into us. We may think this rather crude and unspiritual. God does not: He invented eating. He likes matter. He invented it.”

— C.S. Lewis (Mere Christianity, page 64)

[specialagentartemis]

After the beetle probes come back (honestly, probably even before), plenty of things get (re)named after Ryland Grace - Grover Cleveland Middle School becomes Ryland Grace Middle School, obviously, and astronomy/astrobiology buildings on college campuses and STEM scholarships in his name. Astrophage almost certainly gets the scientific name Astrophagus gracei.

Eva Stratt, meanwhile, gets the Eva Stratt Memorial Library (tagline: "she's not dead we just like remembering her") which is not, in fact, a library, it's the predominant hub for internet media piracy. The creators think they're hilarious.

I'd like your attention for a moment, after some internal review we need to issue a rare rebalancing for Rocky.

NO CHUCKABILITY - We had not seen Rocky with earth-like gravity, and so needed to adjust for this oversight. NO BONES - We were unsure how to solve this, but after much deliberation, we have come to the conclusion that whatever Rocky has got ain't bones. MAX MEDIA LITERACY - We had an unchecked earth bias that clouded our judgement. Rocky's ability to adapt to a culture which is literally alien is extremely impressive. That they were chosen for such an important mission must mean that they are an exceptional Eridian, and their ability to communicate across such a wide gap should have easily gained them that third star.

all the little petrova line references in this movie drive me mad, this one in particular

every single time it catches my eye cause what do you mean he is just learning about it and these little mics look like tiny astrophage leading to him

omg it drives me insane

[raviolireptile]

I got my wisdom teeth out 2 days ago so was inspired to make this lol. I know it’s probably unrealistic or whatever but I am lazy and my jaw hurts so I don’t even care rn
