There was a great quote in one of the Times articles the other day: "there's nothing about that system that you can't make worse by trying."

FYI, this quote is from Astronaut Emeritus John W. Young, who retired as an astronaut only last year after joining the program with the second group of astronauts in 1962. Young has always been fascinating to me, largely because of the way his steel-trap engineering mind manifested itself through his laconic wit, such as in the quote above.
