On: John Glenn has died

[Huhty]

"As I hurtled through space, one thought kept crossing my mind - every part of this rocket was supplied by the lowest bidder." - John Glenn.

RIP sir.

That's a great and hilarious quote.

A different version of that comment is often attributed to Alan Shepard (first American in space). Any connection to Glenn seems to be apocryphal from shortly after 9/11 http://www.snopes.com/rumors/glenn.asp

Still applies to most software. Nuts.
