the routines for crossing the International Date Line, and changing the date, were not well thought out and tested.I see this all the time at NASA. But, it's diversity and process that count now, not how well things work. As long as the software engineer has a bad accent and is not a white male all is good. And the process... spend four out of five days doing all of the ridiculous paper work, rather than engineering, and it's even better. Oh, then it splats into the side of Mars but that's OK.

My sympathies. I was working there (decades ago) when one of our group's researchers remarked gloomily that NASA had passed a milestone: it had reached the point of having at least one bureaucrat for every scientist.
