And to that end I blame Boeing themselves, Jeff.
Where I worked, we built satellites. When Boeing took over they made it their mission to dumb down the instructions to the point they could hire anyone off the streets to build them.
It just doesn't work that way.
You could tell that they were used to the mentality that if something went wrong you could always land the plane and fix it. Not so with sat's. Once they're up, they're up to stay in most cases. They have to work correctly first time, every time.
