   	Hohmann worked out the details of travel around the solar system   
   using the computing power in his head and the storage afforded by a pencil   
   and paper. The computing requirements for space travel are not that large.

   	High quality engineering is a major requirement of space travel.   
   NASA in the sixties had an effectively infinite budget and a culture of   
   careful engineering going back to Edward Murphy of Murphy's law.   
      
   	Boeing are busy acquiring a reputation of careless engineering.
