Draw The Line Somewhere

Matt and Kieran, one of AstroForge's flight software engineers, join Jack to talk about how you actually write software that can't fail millions of miles from help. They walk through real missions killed by software, why testing is never finished, and where you draw the line between rigor and paralysis. Bonus: Matt's Pokémon card tax scheme, a lost drone, and why redirecting asteroids to Earth is a worse idea than you think.
