    NASA's last original Voyager engineer is retiring

    NASA's last original Voyager engineer is retiring

    Imagine if you were working on a 40-year-old computer at your office. Your IT department wouldn't even know what to do with it.

    That's the problem NASA's Voyager mission faces. The spacecraft was built in 1975 and has a computer from the Atari age. The last guy who truly understands how to program it is 80-year-old NASA engineer Larry Zottarelli.

    That's how to become the best paid coder on the planet. Keep up to date with 30 year old programming languages.
