It’s wild to think about how missions like Voyager or the Mars rovers keep going for decades, far beyond their expected lifespans. They’re built to conserve energy, adapt to harsh conditions, and stay focused on their mission no coffee breaks needed! Makes me wonder: are there lessons there for us when it comes to pacing ourselves?
I’ve hit patches where pushing too hard left me drained, and I’m curious how others balance ambition with sustainability. Do you think taking cues from how these probes operate steady output, built-in redundancies, occasional “rest” modes could help us perform better long-term? Or is human hustle just a different beast? Would love to hear your take.
