Hi Folks,

With Atlantis going up today, I thought some people would be interested
reading this article:

on the engineers that write the control software for the Shuttle.

I worked with and met a number of them when they (and I) worked for IBM.
The article downplays their creativity - but they are some of the most
creative people you will ever meet.  They are incredibly disciplined and
many of them worked on NASA programs since the 1960s.
