Akin's Laws of Spacecraft Design

Mostly for my own reference:


Akin's Laws of Spacecraft Design




While Dr. Akin is an aerospace engineer, most if not all of these Laws apply to systems design in general.

[livejournal.com profile] normanrafferty should take particular note of the following:


14. (Edison's Law) "Better" is the enemy of "good".

Since I am not in the spaceship design business, there's little chance of you getting into a ship made by me. I have a friend who is and, quite frankly, I'm not sure I'd get into any spaceship considering how political her office is. ;)
