This is not "risk management"!

This is "what requirement can I impose so the plant is never built?".

On West Coast Shuttle (at VAFB, CA) they had a requirement to be able to land at V-19 (VAFB landing strip) in zero-zero visibility.

Nobody was going to attempt to land a $Billion spacecraft in those conditions.

We ignored the requirement.
