Welcome back Rob!
The discussion above is kind of weird, in that it combines two topics (space shuttle disaster and military cost over-runs) that are one in the same to me. Let me explain.
I once worked for a sub-contractor on a top-secret military project called “Commando Fox”, and that is about all I can tell you about it. I had to design a safety-release mechanism that was supposed to go into effect only during a “100-year storm”, as it is called. Well, the mechanism released about 3 months after the system went into place, due to the incompetence of the prime contractor.
A military commission was formed to investigate the reason for the problem and cost over-runs, and I had to testify. I remember that the top presiding officer was a 3-star general,and the trial was at an Air Force base in Florida. In the middle of my testimony, the news of the Challenger disaster came to us, and the trial was postponed for a couple of hours. There was complete silence as we all watched the TV. The emotion was running high in that Air Force base. I’ll never forget that day.
My company was exonerated at the trial, btw. I knew the problem was not my design. I had my ducks in a row.
Commando Fox was my most fun work experience. I was at sea off a Pacific Island for almost 3 months, climbing aboard off-shore platforms and other neat stuff. Ah, those were the days!
