When I was interviewing at JSC, they where hard at work fixing other
things than the SRB joints. One of my keepers-of-the-day said that
they had basically taken the Shuttle operations procedures apart
piece-by-piece, and they were now in the process of putting it all back
together. He said that they really needed the down-time they've had to
get everything working and more thoroughly debugged.
My impression was that with a launch every month (or every other), they
were too busy launching to plan for launches. There were several
places in mission planning (especially contingency plans) that have
really benefitted by the extended down-time.
I wish they'd taken the time to do it right the first time, but I'd love
to get in there and help them out. They need a programmer/engineer.
I need a job. I hope we can get together.
