("A new car built by my company leaves somewhere traveling at 60 miles per hour. The rear differential locks up. The car crashes and burns with everyone trapped inside. Now: do we initiate a recall? Take the number of vehicles in the field, (A), and multiply it by the probable rate of failure, (B), then multiply the result by the average out-of-court settlement, (C). A times B times C equals X... If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one."‏¹)

Rockhound: You know we're sitting on four million pounds of fuel, one nuclear weapon and a thing that has 270,000 moving parts built by the lowest bidder. Makes you feel good, doesn't it?

I felt about as good as anybody would, sitting in a capsule on top of a rocket that were both built by the lowest bidder.

It's a very sobering feeling to be up in space and realize that one's safety factor was determined by the lowest bidder on a government contract. (Alan Shepherd)
