People on this thread disgust me.
Is that a picture of Musk laughing after his manned capsule blew up on the launch pad?
It’s why we test.
Has everyone forgot the constant and embarrassing string of Vangard failures prior to Mercury Redstone?
It’s why we test.
How about John Glenn’s anomaly that suggested his heat shield had deployed during his historic flight? Or the uncontrolled rotation anomaly when Gemini attempted to first rendezvous with the Athena target vehicle? Or what about Apollo 13??
It’s why we test.
Bah, why bother. You’re all geniuses so you all know better, right?
My Dad yelled at me when I ran out of Gas in my Car when I was 16. He should have had a Job at NASA.
Sometimes we even have to test in production ;)

Actually, I remember all of it, though I wasn’t around during Vanguard. My dad worked on Apollo, I was called my NASA to see if I wanted to help on this project..I said no..I’m way too familiar with NASA and Boeing. I chose not to be associated with constant waste and cost overruns..and excuses. My niece was a project manager for this program. She quit. So don’t tell me about failure. I remember the night my father was wondering if he was gonna have a job after Apollo I. I remember how he and everyone else decided to work 24/7 and get us into lunar orbit in 68. I remember when working for NASA and it’s subcontractors was a badge of honor and distinction...instead of a joke. Get over yourself.
