Default MSNBC (JimO) Scoops more Inside-NASA Shuttle Documents

I would agree that the chances of a shuttle crashing due to a software
glitch is very small. The point was why take a chance when you have
proven flown software available? It becomes a risk trade with any
potential safety gains in the new version.


Because the benefits of the bug fixes and enhancements to the software
might just outweigh the risks, especially considering the high level
of quality in this particular software development group.
