Not surprising, the card was filled with... UNCOMPRESSIBLE DATA!

They should have built the hull out of SanDisk cards.

I'd go for a mix of 50% sd cards and 50% controllers. Maybe 40/60, science is not decided yet.

I still have one of those. I use it to split bricks when I'm putting up a wall.

Bricks? I used mine to process diamonds. Cracked them up real good. It still had its shine, too.

Spoiler: Nothing about the big boom or that trip was on it (as designed, lol), but it's cool that it survived.

What do you mean "tragic"?

[–] ZombieMantis@lemmy.world 25 points 6 days ago

Well, that kid didn't ask to be there, so that's pretty tragic.

A tragedy is an event of great loss, usually of human life. Such an event is said to be tragic. Traditionally, the event would require "some element of moral failure, some flaw in character, or some extraordinary combination of elements" to be tragic.

To me this is tragic even in the Greek sense

Define "tragic"

I'd say "expected" might be a more fitting word.

It originally was an SSD drive
