"Launchpad Chicken". Is it really considered shameful to save a spaceship from disaster?
- objclxt 14y agoI don't actually think it's a NASA phrase - I think it's coined by Jean-Louis Gassée (ex-Apple, of BeOS fame). Gassée's hypothetical NASA example (he talks about a moon launch) is actually pretty bad. What you really need is a scenario where the potential problems are not catastrophic, but incredibly inconvenient.
