Fortran, assembly programmers ... NASA needs you – for Voyager
Ancient code jocks needed to keep probe alive
With its last generation of space-race engineers hanging up their
slide-rules, NASA is looking for someone fluent in Fortran and other
Cold War-era languages.
In an interview with Popular Mechanics, the manager of NASA's Voyager
program Suzanne Dodd said the retirement of the last original crew
member has left the space agency with a shortage of people capable of
communicating with the 40-year-old craft.

For those thinking about adding to their skills.
Or for those of us that grew up old school and that can brush off the
dust on Fortran 77, Cobol, etc.
A good time to be an ancient lang contractor if you can swing it.
