Great points on the documentation. It's hard to find the perfect balance and I see it from NASA's POV. I've seen countless times where on system level testing a component isn't playing nice and being able to trace which systems have which batches was crucial in finding the cause and remedying it. I'd like to think it's the same for product recalls in the consumer space that only impact specific serial number ranges.<p>So it's nice that ILC played ball to the level they did. I really didn't expect hiring 56 of their competitors.
I cannot imagine the dedication of the makers. I make quilts, all improv, because the mere thought of following a pattern sends me into a tizzy.<p>So much admiration for the designers and fabricators.
Interesting article. I was expecting a completely different exposé of NASA, based on the title...
