In fairness, the NASA Engineer can’t get NPM to behave either. That’s why we don’t send JavaScript to space.
Or do we? Now I desperately want to know what the first piece of JacaScript to run in space was/will be? It did/will mark the exact moment that we stopped taking space seriously.
SpaceX is quite “real”. No other company is even close to it’s tech, low cost, and launch cadence. It’s because it’s run by Gwynne Shotwell, the President of SpaceX, who is skilled at keeping Musk away from ruining it.
TBF in the Y2K era JavaScript was less of a suspect choice of scripting language. And it’s a commercial variant called Nombas ScriptEase, which is not better and unsupported since 2003, but there you go.

The touchscreen controls and displays in SpaceX crew capsules are web based. So JavaScript is going to space pretty often.
