    I’ve noticed this in IoT all the time.

    When every game before the DSi had to be ready out the door but every game after could have day zero fixes.

    When Windows had to come in one piece because all fixes could only come through service packs.

    When your smart fridge needs a firmware update

    Etc. Etc.

        So they can pull off a mars express error and fixit if they find it inflight?

        That would be cool

          Each probe has two fully redundant computers so they push to one with prod and one is a fallback. A lot of times the code isn't finished by landing and development happens in flight.
