“Spaceflight will never tolerate carelessness, incapacity, and neglect. Somewhere, somehow, we screwed up. It could have been in design, build, or test. Whatever it was, we should have caught it. We were too gung ho about the schedule and we locked out all of the problems we saw each day in our work. Every element of the program was in trouble and so were we. The simulators were not working, Mission Control was behind in virtually every area, and the flight and test procedures changed daily.” ShouldHas BeensProblemBehindsSawsTroubleDesignChangedElementsAreasProgramShould HaveTestsSafetyCaughtMissionsFlightEach DayAviationNeglectLockedTolerateSchedulesCould Have BeenProceduresScrewed UpCarelessnessIncapacitySpaceflight Book:Failure Is Not an Option: Mission Control From Mercury to Apollo 13 and Beyond Source: Failure Is Not an Option: Mission Control From Mercury to Apollo 13 and Beyond

“In less than 70 hours, three astronauts will be launched on the flight of Apollo 8 from the Cape Kennedy Space Center on a research journey to circle the moon. This will involve known risks of great magnitude and probable risks which have not been foreseen. Apollo 8 has 5,600,000 parts and 1.5 million systems, subsystems and assemblies. With 99.9 percent reliability, we could expect 5,600 defects. Hence the striving for perfection and the use of redundancy which characterize the Apollo program.” UseThreeHoursSpaceKnownMillionsRiskJourneyMoonResearchPercentProgramPerfectionSafetyStriveCirclesFlightAviationDefectsApolloAstronautAssemblyMagnitudeStar GazingCapesReliabilityForeseenRedundancyStriving For Perfection Author:Jerome F.
