I'm curious which model this was. The Model III was the first all-in-one model I had experience with, and the between the motherboard and the CRT neck was a piece of flat aluminum. The biggest danger was potentially snapping the neck off, but there was no danger of touching the mother board. Model 4 was the same configuration. Even the Model II had a metal plate between the CRT and any circuit boards.
>Any further tests would deplete that stock.
I hear what you are saying and it likely affects their decision, but lack of hardware in the future should not be a consideration in this decision at all. If there is any concern, safety of the crew should be priority one.
IIRC, Aerojet is the sub on this system. Surely they understand propulsion well and it is unfortunate that Boeing's name is taking the hit.
Though not assembly language, I think that www.ultibo.org is a cool embedded development environment for the Pi.
Still innovating and contributing as a technical guy. I've made it clear I'm not interested in management.
When I say I'm struggling to work, I'm struggling to be clear-headed and effective at work. My co-workers are AWESOME and are helping to shoulder the load, and the upper management has been great giving me time to deal with appointments. I am contributing, but I know I'm not up to what I usually do.
I'm presently talking to some mental health professionals while getting the family to step up and help a bit, but it doesn't lessen the strain as much as I had hoped.
