Well, something can be functional only as long as the hypothesis made on the operating environment are relevant. After what it becomes broken by obsolescence.

If a device relies only on fundamental physical hypothesis, surely it can certainly go pretty far. Look how pyramids are still great landing facility to this days. Too bad that the hi-erratic art of building the matching spaceships was lost since then — but that’s how it goes when you run for the high sophistication in your design.
