      That’s the kind of reaction almost every kind of engineer would have. But also, some sympathy for the rocket people that can’t afford to make measurements irrelevant.

            I mean to be fair, solder, and some heat shrink (and copious amounts of tape) have legitamately extended wires for me haha. I do like the idea of sending greenies off to find the wire glue though ;).
