Here's one for the sleuths in the crowd. Go find the list of waivers that is stacking up taller than the Ares 1X corndog itself. Then ask why the environmental qualification exceedances for the roll control are being waivered? How about those avionics boxes? And why are waivers doing away with the re-test of boxes that required late work being written as well?
Yes, they are just that desperate to stay in the game by rolling the dice. What if it was your $300M depending on that roll?
Oh wait, it is.
