Nasa asset management

Posted by David Morton Mon, 11 Sep 2006 17:42:00 GMT

While listening to Nasa TV online today, I had good laugh. They were trying to sort out a problem concerning a missing cable. The ISS crew thought the shuttle was bringing one, and the shuttle crew thought the ISS already had the cable.

As if that’s wasn’t funny enough… it sounded like they were discussing how to change outlets and cables to free up a cable… in other words, plug these things into a different outlet to free up a powerstrip.

Wait, it gets better. As they were verifying what plugs they were pulling, they found a bar code that mission control didn’t have in their database, and I heard this quote:

“If no one knows what it is, it must not be important, cause if it was important, we’d know what it is”

I wish I could be so confident with my own asset management. ROFL!
