The astronauts, Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams, arrived in space in June 2024.
It was a very short mission of just one week.
If it makes me angry how much the trip costs me when I’m only going to the beach for a weekend, I don’t know, the mission must be very important for NASA. They will know.
The thing is, I don’t know about Houston, but they’ve had a little bit of trouble.
The typical stuff, you know, the capsule thrusters and some helium leaks.
Consequence: they cannot return until February. A delay of 8 months.
I immediately had these thoughts/questions:
- What a *uck!
- Will they have food until then if they were only going for one day?
- Although I’m sure it ‘s to reassure his relatives, the smile on his stellar video conference is very fake.
It reminded me of my less foresighted clients.
Those who, instead of closing an agreement in advance to do the renderings of their project, call us thinking that we will start next week and it turns out that they have to wait 8 months.
That we have no space before and they can’t come back to earth.
Will they survive?
Sure, they have a larder fuller than the International Space Station where Butch and Suni are.
Will they smile when interested parties ask them about their flats?
No. Not even falsely.
It makes me very angry when this happens.
I know we can do a great job for you but, of course, you also have to take steps.
The most important is to have a certain plan.
And don’t give me cheap excuses that it’s too difficult.
Managing a promotion from start to finish is very complex and requires a plan.
If you want to count on us, let’s talk about it ahead of time and that’s it.
Everything else will be minor problems.
