'''Ross ... never nailed down, and we went the whole program, from Phase A through practically the hardware contract, where the requirements changed every contract.

... I moved into program management. It certainly paid off when I made the transition from hardware subsystems being in mission control work to software development. I found that I could learn ... :''' That makes sense. '''Aaron:''' So it was a natural bridging way to get with the hardware people that didn't necessarily understand software, talk their language, and from that, distill what ... down side of that particular way of doing business is you wind up developing unique hardware for common functions. An example was, everybody needs a computer system function. Well, it may ...

There was another team of engineering people that ran those tests, but ... talked a lot internationally about demonstrating space rescue, but we also built some very unique hardware and mission sequences to pull it off. We weren’t demonstrating a generic capability; we ... gained more than anything else was a knowledge and familiarity of their programs and their hardware and their organizations and people. I don’t think we learned how to do anything ...

It’s an emergency ... and took some parts off of our trainer because they were pretty well downgraded flight hardware, so they actually took the parts, flew them, and replaced them. So we no longer ... in and tear it down to a normal configuration, and then they will bring new hardware in for the next class. '''Ross-Nazzal:''' Can you give us an example of some ...

They ... compressed or whatever. '''Ross-Nazzal:''' Why don’t you tell us some more about the hardware, because I understand that you supervised the development of things like the medical kits, the food warmer, and some other miscellaneous hardware. '''Bourland:''' Yes. It’s hard to believe that this little group—we had about ten ...

So ... , of course, how it was similar. '''Lind:''' We were going to use the leftover Apollo hardware to essentially put in space the first temporary Space Station, so this was another big ... about and all of the rationale behind that? '''Lind:''' Yes. The question was one of hardware reliability. We were going to take a Command Module and fly up to the Space ...
