There is also the difference that in the sixties, those building space
ships were considered the cutting edge of engineering. Problems were
considered normal. Nowadays, people expect engineers to be able to
re-solve the problems that were already solved in the fifties and sixties
without much difficulty.


Then why can't they? Why do such problems keep happening?
