Most of the computer hardware is duplicated but much of it has already failed/failed earlier - remember these are 50 year old hardware - a lot of the logic is TTL and discrete components - which are far larger than modern equivalents would be.


It's not just 50-year-old hardware: it's hardware that's been subjected to cosmic radiation for 50 years, part of that outside the solar system (so presumably even higher).
