Re: Layers of errors

"A lot of the software development expense will depend on who is developing the lander. If a private company is paying for the lunar lander, they can feel fairly free to use cheaper hardware and software development techniques. However, the odds are that the government will be paying for the hardware, so you can pretty well be assured that the current software and hardware techniques will continue to be used."

Generally, when I'm talking about NASA manned lunar mission, I'm saying that this would not be the way NASA normally does a manned mission- such as Shuttle or ISS.
I think a Shuttle/ISS type program of going to the Moon or Mars isn't going to happen. I'm saying NASA needs to find a different approach- a FBC approach for Manned programs. This doesn't mean I'm suggesting we risk the lives of crew.
