Perhaps Nasa should change it's design philosophy for future space vehicles and make all spacecraft from recycled pcb boards. > The shape of these "chunks" of =20 > substrate also had a profound effect on its functionality, and often =20 > served as a "shortcut" to achieve a goal that might otherwise be more =20 > complex. > > So back to the language.
