Amen to that. Would you believe that at one point, the estimated difference
in lifecycle cost (i.e. the total delta over the estimated 30-year
life of a particular system) was $45 million HIGHER if Ada was the

I didn't believe it either, but it's unfortunately true.
And of course I'm not speaking for NASA or New Technology, Inc.
