Reminds me of the NOAA-N Prime satellite that fell over, because there weren't enough bolts holding it to the test stand.

The roots cause, and someone correct me if this is not accurate, was that the x-ray tested bolts to hold it down were so expensive, that they had been "borrowed" to use on another project, and not returned, so that when the time came to flip the satellite into a horizontal position, it fell to the floor. Repairs cost $135M.

And so when "Check for bolts" is added to flip procedure errata/addendum, is light sarcasm called for ?
