This course will examine several projects in which those in charge made serious, embarrassing, and often public errors.   We will, naturally, also have the benefit of hindsight.

 
  The course is NOT designed to embarrass or hold up to ridicule any specific individuals or organizations.

There is no intent to ridicule NASA, the Department of Defense, the aerospace industry, managers, or bureaucracy in general.

 
 
 

WHEN PEOPLE ARE GIVEN A CHOICE TO EITHER MAKE UNREASONABLE DECISIONS, OR LOSE THEIR JOBS, THEY WILL MAKE UNREASONABLE DECISIONS

 
 
 

A major purpose of this course is to help people avoid finding themselves in this position.

"Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it"
