It amazes me, how many people do not realize how the future works.

That $20B 'scope had to have 460-something separate operations occur, in sequence, with not a single redundancy anywhere; as a former Reliability Engineer, that made my butt pucker. I'm sure the JW team will sleep very, very well tonight; and can't wait to see the images! (although that's a ways off)

Hired by Martin Marietta continuing installations in FR-4 (which we redid for Ares on the Constellation project). See this link of interview with Shuttle Launch Director - http://www.spaceref.com/news/viewnews.html?id=1453.
Our small group of engineers, draftsmen, and technicians made modifications to the hardware/SW and drawings requested by NASA (Cost plus contract was great). Eventually wrote modification instructions for technicians to complete and verified updates to the mylar drawings, if you remember those. Convinced our boss to convert any affected drawings from Mylar to PDF as a cost saving measure. No more printing, folding, and distributing F and E size (or other size documents), thus being able to share on the NASA network the drawings and the Modification Instruction Packages as they were being completed. During that time frame I worked for the United Space Alliance Corporation.
I was pulled into the Constellation project to help develop electronic maintenance procedures and then train technicians to do the modification work for their systems, using tablets instead of paper. This allowed managers to view the status of work as it was being performed in order to manage work across shifts. When I left as part of the final group being laid off, I had worked exactly 40 years at KSC. Started as a technician and ended my career there as a Technical Analyst IV, which was as high as I could go with an AA and an AS degree. It was a fun ride.
That wasn't the end of my work life. I was offered a short term contract to at the KSC Visitor Center to set up an electronic data base of all the hardware in the Atlantis building that would require maintenance. Then all the hardware at the visitor center that required maintenance. Another contract to actually write the annual, semi-annual, monthly and daily maintenance for Atlantis and then the visitor center hardware. Of course, it was all going to be available on tablets as well as their network. So that meant training the technicians to use the tablets. When my part of that effort was completed I finally retired.

Never got to KSC, may have to make a "civilian" visit one of these days.

we have a ground seep (a spring) on one side of the road thats active all year long. the city put the storm drain on the other side of the road, makes for a nice skating rink in the winter for the kids....
the storm drain empties into a trench that goes 100 feet along a boat ramp into the lake, if they only put the storm drain on the other side of a tiny dead end street. this morning the ice is about 8 inches thick with a 4 foot wide 8 inch deep pothole full of water dead center. the neighbor on the seep side put in a round river stone babbling brook that looks nice in there yard though. there really was no reason not to put the drain on the other side, even in the yard, the hot top is always a wreck there getting patched twice a year

if i drove all the way to wally world, the park was closed, i broke in and got on that coaster, i would be pretty disappointed in it lasting barely 1 minute 20 seconds of actual ride time. even with there being no 2 hour line to stand in. dont get me going with disney world either, they slowed space mountain down about a week before i was there.....front seat for the metal coasters, last seat for the old wooden ones. the old wooden one near me launched the coaster into the parking lot once
