The Mars Climate Orbiter crashed because some fuckwit programmer at Lockheed Martin programmed their tiny piece of software in freedom units, instead of metric like they were required.
Can you imagine how much your hands would shake typing git blame
There really should be a git repent
My years of playing ksp says you should be firing the thrusters long before you open the chutes otherwise theyll just get jerked off the moment they open at high speed entry…
Drogue chutes are good too, especially for stabilizing a craft that really wants to make like a lawn dart. Using them I can make Duna landings with only a few seconds of thrust from a soft touchdown.
Repacking can be tedious though…
That’s why you don’t debug and deploy directly
Now what about if the software industry operated like NASA.
It’s 1996 and we have plans for a new telescope game!
2021: finally launches
OK maybe the software industry already operates like NASA.
At least NASA had built an actual telescope and rocket during all those delays. Star Citizen has consumed hundreds of millions of dollars over the past decade and still doesn’t have a game to show for it.
“Well akschually we never needed those nazis, we just didn’t want the other company to get them haha”
If you do so, what you shouldn’t please write one unit test, failing as long that flag is set.
