The first computer I ever worked on had 8KB of core memory. It was an old Digital Equipment Corporation pdp-8/e. I loved that machine and its open face tale drives and teletype with paper tape punch and reader and card reader.

The memory in the two Voyager spacecraft - still in operation more than 45 years after launch, now more than 4 times farther from our Sun than Pluto's mean orbit - is core. Poke around in https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov
That's awesome. It's lasted longer than modern flash does.
