03. Are there only risks? Is there anything we can do to minimize or to avoid the risks? (A K2S Question)

From The Space Library

NASA created the NASA Engineering and Safety Center (NESC) as an external review board in addition to the safety and risk departments that exist within all of NASA's departments, projects and programs. The NESC team includes experts from NASA and other government agencies, national laboratories, universities and consulting firms. The country's best experts work together to resolve the challenges NASA faces to keep projects as safe as possible. NESC reviews products and procedures to evaluate their engineering suitability or safety. These in-depth, second-look technical reviews, as they're called, help spot problems before the products or procedures are put into or returned to service. We are learning all the time and minimizing risk as a result.
