I know who the offenders are on this website. I won't mention names.
But I'm sick and tired of reading posts every time a deep-space probe
has a 'glitch' in its cruise-phase.
REMEMBER!!...The media's job [space media: space.com; MSNBC, etc] is to sensationalize; to accentuate the negative.
Everytime a deep-space probe has a software glitch or mechanical system difficulty during cruise-phase, the media blows it out of proportion; interpreting what is nearly always a minor & temporary
problem into a potential calamity or mission-failure.

BULLS..T!!!...

Some of you are starting to believe those sensationalized
negative reports.
STOP IT!!!...Give the mission-control engineers and technicians a freakin' BREAK!! THEY ARE NOT IDIOTS!~ The know their job! They have the Phd's, or Msc's.
They have the experience, the training, the ground-equipment,
the test-logs, the spacecraft hardware inventory-lists
to trouble-shoot almost any contingency during the cruise-phase
of deep-space missions.
Yes! There will still be failures, but usually during launch or
during interplanetary orbiting/landing attempts.
Yes! Missions like Galileo did suffer hardware failure during the cruise phase, but what did the engineers do? They bypassed the problem
and turned a potential mission failure into a SUCCESS.

What about the STARDUST imaging-system problems?
What about the Japanese Mars probe?

What about them? Aren't their engineers good enough? Aren't
they intelligent and skilled enough to solve the problems or work their
way around them?
Give those guys and gals a freakin' BREAK!
