system
I’m glad to know that a 785 page document is “simplifying” the launch procedures. Sounds like the IRS simplifying the tax code. Launch customers should be careful what they wish for. Several other government agencies, like the EPA and OSHA have developed performance based standards, in order to “simplify” the regulations for the companies they oversee. It does give some latitude to the companies, but there is always a clause in there somewhere that we call the “Should have known better” clause. In other words, if anything goes wrong, the offending company will be cited because they should have known that their procedures were inadequate. Citations and fines usually follow.
