I am happy to know if any NASA spaceships are intercepted by aliens that they'll have good quality lacing to represent us.

  Good quality lacing means the craft will probably be working. The worst case scenario is a tangle of cables hanging all the tension on one individual cable then apply a nice 9 G load with vibration and it snaps. Also good lacing in minimal volume which means maximal cooling air flow in general.

    Depends on if you laced the wire that needs the most cooling deep in the center of the bundle...

    Its also important during the building process to keep the rats nest of wiring to a minimum, it can get fairly messy inside spacecraft. Then its also much easier to ensure cabled are kept apart from other signals that could interfere with them.
