That diagram up top is baffling though. I've done many Western Union splices, but I've never been able to defy the laws of physics like that!]]>Feb 9th 2008 7:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/09/nasas-wiring-guide-only-the-most-demanding-geeks-need-apply/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/09/nasas-wiring-guide-only-the-most-demanding-geeks-need-apply/
I'm sorry but I didn't accept NASA's job offer because I enjoy helping people live.

Yes, it is an inferior product and I wish I would have added some sort of self destruct mechanism.

I sure wouldn't have wanted to take the chance, but when you're that far up with little resources they didn't have much of a choice.

Every time I witness a shuttle launch it scares the crap out of me. Those astronauts are truly fearless. Going up is only half the danger.
