“Musk: It was a tiny design revision change from the supplier. The supplier made some mistakes and we didn’t catch those mistakes. Ran system through low pressurization tests, but didn’t run them through the high presssurization functionality tests. Didn’t get stuck in the low pressurization functionality tests. “
Quality control mistakes and inadequate testing are unacceptable when you have lives and billions of dollars at stake. They’ll be forced to add the same overhead NASA has been forced too.
That kind of crap is the difference between the F-22 and the WWII era warplanes. Fly then fix costs lives. So be it.
Fix then fly means you stay on the ground.
I despise that crap. It's institutionalized thinking.
And even with the billions and billions NASA spent on quality control and testing, they managed to kill a lot more folks than Musk has.
It's a dangerous business.
