I took your survey but have to add, as a EE Six Sigma is a waste of time, as are many of the GREAT ideas the management and other waste of space people at the company are. a better idea than 6sig or lean, fire the idoit trying to employ it in the company. 1 you'll save money due to time loss teaching it. 2 you'll save money by having one less over paided management position!

Cynical, but True. As far as it goes.
 
Due to the constant never ending supply of "cool stuff" happening in Aerospace these days I'm creating this thread to consolidate posts every time something new comes along. Please feel free to add random information if its relevant. So to start things off here is the SpaceX Dragon launch coming up shortly, I'll be following up afterwards to see how it all goes. :smile: https://blogs.nasa.gov/spacex/
