Sorry, I almost posted a retraction (or a partial one anyway) right after the last post, but you beat me to the punch.
Yeah, I'm worried that the overruns will affect other projects. I'm sorry if anyone thought I was being holier than thou or pointing fingers. In fact, I have no idea what technical or program reasons have caused the specific overruns MSL has experienced, and I'm always impressed that any of these missions suceed in overcoming both the technical and bureaucractic hurtles thrown in their ways. I'm under no illusions that this stuff is easy. I'm in the software industry, and god help any spacecraft that would get loaded with software that my group had anything to do with....... |
