NASA Workmanship pictorial reference

NASA has a “Workmanship” section of their site to “illustrate some of the reasons behind NASA’s workmanship and process requirements. The pictures contained in these pages are actual images of space flight hardware that failed during testing (primarily during vibration or thermal cycle environmental tests). The troubleshooting and repairs necessary to restore the hardware to flightworthy conditions are usually a substantial cost and schedule impact on the affected Programs”. Amazing stuff! –
