    Why does the Voyager probe have 5 instruments? In keeping with the Unix philosophy, they should have launched 5 probes w/ 1 instrument each

        @wycats because the UNIX philosophy only applies to the design of UNIXy systems.

        @wycats Makes sense. That way you just relaunch a small one when one instrument/probe fails, instead of relaunching a big one.

        @wycats I know you're just trolling, but even Raymond extolled the "Rule of Economy" -- conserve what is expensive (here, launches).

        @wycats is component-installation really that costly? Or is there another, hidden cost, like integration?

        @wycats because the probe is logical, it does have 5 physical 'probes' with 1 instrument each.

        @wycats you would probably end up with strange BSD/GNU style incompatibilities.

        @bascule @wycats now compare when UNIX happened to when the Unix philosophies were developed
