Bill,

When I was a contract person supporting the Space Program, I had the 
very good fortune to work alongside a gentleman who would proclaim (in 
his own words) "Meet Von Braun?? Hell !!, I helped carry his bags to the 
barracks.."

His main beef went something like this...
<< In the old days, we built it, we flew it, and then we documented it. 
Nowadays, we plan, schedule, discuss, re-plan, design, re-design, etc., 
etc..and now we can't get a damn thing into the air!!>>

While I was there, he resigned to play trombone in a local jazz band...
Smart Man!!
