An OLD "Doing it Wrong" but Published 15:42 13 Apr 2025!NASA hired Lockheed Martin to construct the NOAA N-Prime weather satellite back in 2003
Technician made simple error on NASA satellite that ended up costing $135,000,000.
The accident occurred when the satellite was being moved from a vertical to horizontal position and accidentally fell a meter onto a concrete surface.
An investigation into the matter was carried out after the costly mistake and revealed it was a very minor thing that caused the catastrophic damage.
It was reported at the time that the physical damage caused was a result of the satellite missing just 24 bolts.
The bolts were needed to secure the spacecraft to a device called the Turn-Over Cart (TOC).
A report from NASA stated: "The bolts were removed from the TOC by another project while the cart was in a common staging area, an activity which was not communicated to the NOAA project team."

"just 24 bolts?!?"
I mean, someone at Boeing musta seen that and said "here, hold my beer".
Four. Four bolts!

Never understood exterior doors with glass larger than the average person.

That is a typical English house. Why they like glass doors is beyond me.
-
The new trend around me are garage doors with large windows on each panel where two full grown adults can fit thru...
Does not compute!- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit. -
Should have added...the reason for the peephole is you can get those doors with frosted glass installed or you if you buy a house with a clear glass door already installed you can apply clear or tinted frosted vinyl to the glass.

Someone's doing something wrong here....
Ron Wagner, former pilot in the US Air Force (USAF) 89th Airlift Wing (the “Presidential Wing”), recalls the best pilot-ATC argument ever on Quora;
‘My old time aviation buddies can skip this because it’s an old mythical story. Probably didn’t happen, but if it did, this was the best pilot-controller argument of all time!
‘Allegedly the German air controllers at Frankfurt Airport are renowned as a short-tempered lot. German controllers are tough and run airports like, well, like Germans were known to run things. No sense of humor. No room for error. And they were quick with tongue lashings for anyone who didn’t obey perfectly and quickly. They, it is alleged, not only expect one to know one’s gate parking location, but how to get there without any assistance from them.
‘A British Airways Boeing 747 call sign Speedbird 206 (the call sign for British Airways jets is Speedbird) landed and was handed over to ground control and given taxi instructions.
Speedbird 206: “Frankfurt, Speedbird 206 clear of active runway.”
Ground: “Speedbird 206 taxi to gate Alpha One-Seven.”
‘The BA 747 pulled onto the main taxiway and slowed to a stop.
Ground: “Speedbird, do you not know where you are going?”
Speedbird 206: “Stand by, Ground, I’m looking up our gate location now.”
Ground (with quite arrogant impatience): “Speedbird 206, have you not been to Frankfurt before?”
Speedbird 206 (coolly): “Yes, twice in 1944, but it was dark … and I didn’t land.”

When I am doing testing on mics at the stores and I have my speaker tester at the headend, I place my iphone at the mic and play stuff like this....even if you don't know the words, the tunes stick in your head.
Employees and managers crack up, and later tell me they can't get the tunes out of their heads.

Lol, bread and butter, reminds me of the song Ain't got no home in Lost Boys.
