My Favorite ISS Safety Requirement


This is my favorite International Space Station safety requirement. I sat in far too many meetings discussing what the objective of this was and what was sufficient rationale, if any existed, to waive it (we did in fact, waive it for the ARED weight machine, after a design change that limited the hole in question to a depth of about half an inch). Is a half-inch deep feature still a hole?
