Drive on Opportunity
..
plus the apollo era engineers today are all very old or dead. theres a experince gap, espically mportant with a multi year mission with no chance of resupply So what has NASA been doing since Apollo, nothing? *Don't you think that shuttle, Mir, and ISS experience counts for something? Jeff the shuttle was designed back in 1970. so those engineers are probably all retired. Mir too was designed in russia a long time ago... engineers aged and retired while ISS was designed not that long ago its not a exploration vehicle, its about orbital long term operations |

Don't you think that shuttle, Mir, and ISS experience counts for something? Jeff the shuttle was designed back in 1970. so those engineers are probably all retired. And unfortunately NO engineer worked on it since then and NONE of these engineers passed on their skills to a new generation. Seriously Bob, this is the best you can do?

designing and building all new systems for deep space long term operations for years is different than keeping old systems operating.......
because so little new systems have been needed for so long theres a big lack of experience in this area |

well during the wind down of the shuttle program nasa did say they were concerned about a brain drain loss of so many engineers......
only time will tell....... |

I'll take the Mark I eyeball on site when I can. they cant hire engineers who are already experiences in a pretty specialized area... theres likely not a more specialized area than space vehicles espically manned space |

Right, and since we had never built something like Apollo, it's impossible to go to the Moon. Yet we did. theres likely not a more specialized area than space vehicles espically manned space Oh, I can think of several. -- Greg D.

Just where do you think the original crop of engineers came from; sprang full grown from Zeus's forehead or something? -- "Some people get lost in thought because it's such unfamiliar territory." --G.

True, but there is some sort of joke/comment to be made about the builders of Saturn sprouting from Jupiter (the booster) and all. But it's not really accurate and would go over Bob's head. -- Greg D. Moore http://greenmountainsoftware.wordpress.com/ CEO QuiCR: Quick, Crowdsourced Responses. http://www.quicr.net |
