This scares the heck out of me (rocket scientists?)
The title says it all…
From the article: '"The shuttle computers were never envisioned to fly through a year-end changeover," space shuttle program manager Wayne Hale told a briefing. The problem, according to Hale, is that the shuttle's computers do not reset to day one, as ground-based systems that support shuttle navigation do. Instead, after December 31, the 365th day of the year, shuttle computers figure January 1 is just day 366
and frankly I find this totally shocking in some ways but in light of all the other NASA miscues, not so much.
