Smash Hit

NASA continues to demonstrate their descent into incompetence:

Inexperience, mismanagement and technical problems caused a spacecraft to smash into its target during an automated test flight last year, the head of NASA's investigation team said on Tuesday.

The DART satellite -- short for Demonstration of Autonomous Rendezvous Technology...

Well, it did make the rendezvous. Sort of.

DART's prime contractor, Dulles, Virginia-based Orbital Sciences Corp was singled out by [NASA] investigators for not taking advantage of in-house expertise that could have helped mission designers avoid what ultimately turned out to be fatal flaws.
