[amsat-bb] Interesting reports about spacecraft software on Jim Gosling's page

[Margaret Leber <maggie@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Happened to hit the URL for James Gosling's home page while reading "Core
Jini"....and in light of our recent discussions of the English units/SI conflict
for the Mars Climate Observer spacecraft it seems particularly apt...especially
since I understand P3D was originally to fly on an Araine-5.

"ARIANE 5-Flight 501 Failure-Report by the Inquiry Board"

Also interesting is "description of the Mars Pathfinder 'reset' problem"
