"If I only knew then what I know now...but that is the way of the world."

I am writing a series of blog entries on my 3 Months in Huntsville, Alabama helping to review the source selection for the Space Shuttle's Solid Rocket Motors.  I have finished Part 3 entitled Lockheed Propulsion Company, Thiokol Corporation, B-173677, June 24, 1974 - Part 3: Selling the Program.  I should be done Part 4 in a week or two -- depending on how much anger I can hold back while I write Part 4.  When you read the excerpt I took from the RFP, you should have an idea of where I am going with it.  That requirement will be a highlight of Part 4.

I'm not asking you to read the article so it gets views.  I'm asking you to read Part 3 and then Part 4 - when its done -- to get you angry and try to prevent it from ever happening again.
