Lessons learned from Dante:
A) NASA should never work with spools of wire or cable :-)
B) The more moving parts, quadruple the chance of something breaking.
Hopefully they'll come back next summer and run it without someone spraying
lubricants all over the fiber optic cable, or other human intervention.
Further, I'd hope they'd eventually work out a package 5 years down the
road where they drop the Dante/Carrier combo out of a C-130 and run a TOTALLY
hands-off mission as a dry run to Mars. For that matter, they could/should
run practice runs on rovers down South. ....
I have talked to Ehud, and lived.
