Watched a documentary about Rolls Royce making jet engines last night, it was bloody brilliant. The level of engineering design and execution was staggering, attention to detail, pride and absolute excellence of staff was amazing. They set out to make the best engines on the planet and do so, I was nearly on my feet saluting by the end.
THIS is the level which we need to be competing at and satellite design and build is comparable, forget trying to mass produce stuff as cheaply as Bob, you have no chance. The order book stands at 40 billion currently. One place was growing a single component from an individual metal crystal (it’s the only way to make sure it can take the likely stress) – What happens if they fail testing and are returned ? I don’t know says the chap, it has NEVER happened.
