А это отрывок из статьи "In space, no one can hear you kernel panic" в выпуске, посвященному архитектуре ПО:

"A pair of famous examples illustrates the problem with relying on perfection. Software engineer Margaret Hamilton, the director of the MIT group that developed Apollo’s software in the late 1960s, had a hand in both. Hamilton frequently brought her daughter Lauren, then a toddler, to the office on late nights and weekends. Before the Apollo 8 mission in late 1968, which would mark the first time astronauts circled the moon, Lauren was playing with the command module simulator via a DSKY, a keyboard and display combination. She managed to crash a flight simulation by unexpectedly triggering a prelaunch sequence.

Hamilton tried to get NASA to let her introduce error checking to prevent an astronaut from making the same mistake during the mission, however unlikely. NASA overruled her, insisting astronauts would perform the task perfectly. Hamilton was reduced to putting a note in the manual about the possibility of this problem.

Then astronaut Jim Lovell selected the same sequence during Apollo 8’s flight, purging from the craft’s memory the navigation data that was required to return to Earth. After a scramble that was less telegenic than the Apollo 13 “Houston, we have a problem” scenario—more like finding a backup tape than hopping aboard a makeshift lifeboat—Hamilton and her team were able to transmit the navigation data from Earth, as the system was flexible enough to accept those inputs in transit."
