It's somewhat amusing to read this criticism on a website primarily populated by people in the software industry, which is hardly a paragon of accurate estimation and forecasting. Proportionate excesses (i.e. 10X over-budget) may not be the norm, but they are hardly rare, and they are always for projects far more prosaic than launching a telescope into space.

- rnk 4y agoWell great humble brag response! There are some known aerospace projects that ran over, but the software world has so many problems it is not embarrassing, it is just reality. I'm on a project with a goal of shipping in around 4 months, I estimate 12 months and my management chain does not want to hear it.
