At this point, we don't see anything that is such a poke-out for the program that they can't overcome it in that time frame. |
Everybody's going to have a different perspective. If you watch sausage being made, it's not always pretty and some people are going to find it uglier than others. I personally did not find the process, as it played out, unusual. |
Is there something else that is going to occur in a time frame that makes sense that we would wait to fly for? |
Oh, yeah, I'd fly in a heartbeat, |
On many occasions, we observed weak understanding of basic program management and systems engineering principles, an abandonment of traditional processes, and a lack of rigor in execution. |
There are no show stoppers that we've seen out there, ... The issue that may come up is the degree to which feasible repair techniques are available on this mission. |
Those observations stand on their own. We're not going to comment on those. |
We don't see anything out there that we have big questions about, that are not the same questions that the program is looking at, |
would probably be happy with that approach. |
