Faster, Better, Cheaper: A maligned era of NASA's history (2019)
- dredmorbius 3y agoAn assessment and analysis of the widely criticised 1990s Nasa policy of "faster, better, cheaper" space missions, questioning the general perception, discussing risks and rewards (including cost-overrun, cancellation, and overloaded-missions risks), as well as different conclusions depending on where and when data are sliced. I'd dug this article up answering a question earlier today in the Voyager 1 mission discussion. Nasa's own OIG report from 2001 is also available for comparison: <https://oig.nasa.gov/audits/reports/FY01/ig-01-009.pdf https://oig.nasa.gov/audits/reports/FY01/ig-01-009.pdf> (PDF).
