Yes, they are silly enough to do that. QA is viewed as an expense because they "don't produce anything". QA only exists because at some point something went really wrong and a red-faced manager ran around the building screaming, "You're all useless idiots," until somebody pacified him by saying, "I have an idea on how to keep this from happening." Given enough time of things running smoothly, managers always think, "We're not having any problems. Surely we don't need so much QA."

About two years of continuous cuts later something goes really wrong and the manager is running around the building screaming again.

Nobody appreciates QA until it's gone.

Opinions are not facts.

Because the IT guys are also the engineers that designed it?

Technically the Space Shuttle doesn't leave the atmosphere, if you define the atmosphere as any amount of gas gravitationally trapped by the Earth. Pretty much any place you define as the boundary between the atmosphere and space is going to be arbitrary, but there's a good technical reason to use 100km: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%A1rm%C3%A1n_line

It was probably done to make it look like the Space Shuttle, but only because that's what people think a spaceship looks like, not to try and fool anybody into thinking it has heat tiles. Anyways if somebody doesn't know enough about these ships to know they don't use or need heat tiles, they probably shouldn't be going up.
