Badly routed wiring, potential shorts, loose fasteners...and a forgotten socket wrench.<br /><br />The entire first production run of command modules was in similar condition, and not one of them was ever flown with a human aboard.Deadstickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06484321108126882385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-9215284419673271042020-02-19T15:39:44.832-05:002020-02-19T15:39:44.832-05:00Milken?

It will be interesting to see what judge Jackson does with this case, especially after the Federal Judges Association had an emergency meeting today.<br /> I saw someone on TV yesterday say they didn't think she would use the opportunity to address the issue of political intrusion into the DOJ, but I also read a statement from her boss that supported her all the way to the bus stop, so to speak.<br /><br /> -Doug in Oaklanddinthebeasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12941071534250216503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-47455786808100989482020-02-19T15:30:41.554-05:002020-02-19T15:30:41.554-05:00One of the 'war stories' of Augustine'...One of the 'war stories' of Augustine's Laws was of the time when a wrench was left in a prototype test-article jet engine, which on testing startup lunched the engine (and set back the tests and sales offering, which cost the company millions and put it behind the competition). R&D management vowed it would never happen again and added to their checklist having a man crawl into the engine and shine a flashlight around to check for such foreign objects. Some time later, another test article was lunched by a flashlight left behind.<br />Norman Augustine was the CEO of Martin Marietta when he wrote the book, Try to to get an earlier editions like the red paper back. The book was so wildly popular that it was updated many times and got overwieght. My favorite law: Anything that isn't in a design won't break.<br />https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augustine%27s_lawsStewart Deanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06830186006689502072noreply@blogger.com
