Get real, man. The whole post is premised with "these are the first things you learn on the job when you try and innovate the classroom." I'll repeat myself again saying that any educator who actually is going to try and change parts of the protocols, procedures and practices for the better (rather than just say it can't be done every-time an idea crosses their path) are either going to learn the hard way and waste t…

Rocket launches, if you're a rideshare are not soft deadlines. You don't get your payload delivered on time, you lose. Even if you're the only payload, you have hard deadlines - there may be a few windows to launch in but if you miss those the next opportunity might not be for another 26 months. Someone will lose their job over that.

They are soft deadlines, launches are routinely delayed due to unforseen circumstances, such as weather.

A weather delay does not mean you get more time to get your payload onboard.
