OT: remote wireless shifting

Really remote. Shift those bits, leave a pointer.

I'll see your wireless 13 speed shifting, including blips, and raise you 46 years and 15 billion miles.

The infamous phrase "F#&%ing SRAM!!" and a few kicks to a rear derailleur come to mind.

I briefly worked at NASA early in my career. It was almost as impressive as it seemed when I was a child, growing up during the Cold War and the Space Race.

Wild that I saw this post at exactly the same time as I heard the story on NPR. Such a cool illustration of the triumphs of engineering.
