> ASAP or "Tomorrow morning first thing"
replylike in "fast pacing environments" with "flat hierarchies" and "agile mindset"? :-D
As ASAP As Possible
replyAs asap as possible or you can say rip in peace to yourself
replyA well defined doc evolves over time. it gets sharper with real-world scenarios, incidents, and experiments. Before Voyager 1, we didn’t have that kind of experience. You can’t predict everything upfront.
reply> Theory only takes you so far
I’d argue that you must not be working on interesting problems if you think that “engineering is not that hard”
replyI think their point is that the challenge becomes more enjoyable than tedious.
replyThat's the point. I haven't but I would like to, and I realize that the so called "engineering" problems I work on is NOT real engineering.
replyOK I was probably wrong about that "not hard" though.
Would sending voyager have been a real definite deadline?
replyVisiting this many planets was only possible due to a very rare alignment. It's a once a century event. That's why we sent two probes, not just one
replyAbsolutely. You could wait decades or centuries for a useful planetary alignment.
replyNot really. Jupiter alone is good enough. Its huge mass accounts for almost all of the gain you get from any such slingshot. Launch windows from Jupiter to anywhere occur every 12 years. Voyager's alignment was captivating, but realistically if it hadn't happened, we would have just done separate Jupiter-Uranus and Jupiter-Neptune missions instead.
