Amazon just had an outage on their computers localized to a 3 mile region in Virginia and they still haven't fixed it.

NASA had an outage 350 miles above the surface of the Earth and managed to fix it.

There's a difference in software reliability priorities and operations here.

Hubble was also out for over a month; I don't think anyone expects the AWS outage to last anywhere near that long.

I wonder if one can compare the two directly though. Also Amazon's whole infrastructure is probably built with a lot of third party tools?
