Gentlefolk, << the chances of going bang goes down with launch experience, not up! >>
For initial experimental operations, yes, but this learning curve can peak early. With long term routine operations, there's a tendency for complacency to set in, pressure to cut corners to save money (until one gets some unfortunate feedback), and finally, the equipment ages. Arguably, we've seen some of this in both DCX and shuttle mishaps. --Best, Gerald _______________________________________________ ERPS-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.erps.org/mailman/listinfo/erps-list
