There's a possibly or partially apocryphal story about the moonrise causing a false alarm of a Russian ballistic missile attack from the BMEWS system in 1960 when they first turned it on in Thule. Anyway the idea that there are certain kinds of bugs which reoccur from one generation of system to another is amusing or sobering depending on the consequences.
