According to gary@ke4zv.UUCP (Gary Coffman): >You wouldn't do a cheap and dirty Hoover Dam or Golden Gate bridge >saying that if it failed you'd just shrug and go on to the next >project. Aerospace has become like civil engineering. The costs >of projects, and the effects of failure, have become high [...] I think there's an issue of cause and effect here. Isn't it possible that the costs of projects and the effects of failure have risen _because_ risk taking has become so rare? -- Chip Salzenberg at Teltronics/TCT <chip@tct.com>, <73717.366@compuserve.com> "you make me want to break the laws of time and space / you make me want to eat pork / you make me want to staple bagles to my face / and remove them with a pitchfork" -- Weird Al Yankovic, "You Make Me"
