        What do you mean “again”? You mean still.

          When we had the shuttle. We decided we didn’t want to be in that situation again, but we still are.

        No not at all. It is not a macro problem of organization. It’s a micro problem of rich executive fuckwits running the corpo instead of actual engineers.

        You can dice it up how ever you want, but if vapid, money-grubbing piles of trash are at the top, it will ALWAYS fail.
