No robots were affected by the Windows/CrowdStrike problem yesterday at #RoboCup2024Eindhoven. Why? Because all of them use Linux/ROS 😎 Open Source 1 - Microsoft 0

Now I'm thinking about all the rest of our infrastructure on a jenga tower of software dependencies. Nightmare!!!

July 20th, 1969 is a date that stands high in my life – it was the day that we, together as one people, achieved the greatest scientific and technological feat in human history. The specific role that Neil, Mike and I performed in the event was but one part of an immeasurably larger effort – not just for our nation, but for all mankind. As I look back on what we accomplished 55 years ago, I am still inspired by what we all saw and did – the best of America and the best of humanity. Thank you for the privilege and the honor of serving you, and for being part of this exciting and wonderous journey with me. #Apollo11
