Russian Space Suits: The Soviet/Russian Spacesuit History
I read this to learn about those NASA systems engineering secrets that Dominic Cummings is always blogging about. Got some interesting information about the structural evolution of US and European space exploration and a bit about gradually freezing designs and so forth from a systems engineering standpoint. The book was written in 2002 and the author is adamant that SpaceX style iterative development, if applied to rockets, will only lead to delays, cost overruns, and explosions. Well, SpaceX does have more explosions than ULA which employs a very US space traditional systems engineering standpoint but no more than is typical for a modern rocket company. I wonder if the difference is modern simulation technology or something organizational. Well, it's going to take another book to figure that out.
