Summary[edit]

Description

My partner Randy and I donned the lab coats and visited the avionics testing room at SpaceX HQ. On each "heavy metal" slab (colorfully named as such) rests the avionics package for a rocket stage or the Dragon spacecraft. Every avionics system is there, so it's a complete rocket on a table.

Test equipment interfaces to each sensor, providing simulated streams of data. So this brain in a box thinks it's launching and then facing all sorts of simulated situations or anomalies. It's living in the Matrix and looking like a hero.
