Hahaha just thought I'd throw this here. :lol:
Not sure i agree with the latter, on both sides of the metaphor.
Bad documentation could be actively confusing and rather sad, to the point of preferring to take thing into your own hands.
 
Imagine if a Mars mission failed because the toilet broke and everybody got sick and died.

Can't somebody please ban me forever with some smirky reason like "Get a job" (OK, I have one) or "spend more time with your children" (Which my job currently prevents by me again sitting alone in a hotel)...

Here I am, on the road again,
There I am, upon the stage,
Here I go, playing star again,
There I go, turn the page...

9 hours of work and here I sit at the hotel, reading requirements and planning the next project. Which I will likely do. Somewhere else.

Well, at least nobody sees me shed a tear about a dog. Which was part of our family for 12 years and now had to die because of lung cancer. Its easier to be alone and have the space for it, than to be with customers and be professional, but its much harder to be far away and alone then, compared to having your family around. And its pretty annoying to feel painfully sad, when I am thinking about the memories that made me laugh last week and at the same time I know that those times are again over. I would prefer trading the time for posting this for just having some minutes to play with him again. But damn, I can't. The time is gone again.

Well, I would be a really poor candidate for a Mars mission with my (lack of) emotional stability, wouldn't I? :)
 
Works for me on Urwumpe and Matias add-ons?
 
Me neither.
Can download stuff, just can't log in

I can log in, but there's nothing that shows that you are logged in. Except when you click on 'My Account'.
If you'r on the 'Home' page, the menu still shows 'Log In'.

Just found this interesting (and mirrored) photo of Al Bean in an A7LB suit with an Apollo 12 patch in it.

That's probably one of his Skylab suits during training for it, but it interesting that he used the 12 patch in it.
