It goes into a reactor. > After a solid WEEK of testing somebody put a red tag on it and I legitimately was made to write an email explaining how the bolts are coincidental dimensionally similar. > Quality, source inspectors, and any third party involved seem to have the end goal of just not fucking buying the part. For anything that leaves the ground it has to be twice as perfect. Each individual part of something of this level of importance has to be literally perfect. Individual fasteners are X-rayed for the possibility that somebody might have looked at it wrong. Every part I sent a CofC off had a piece of paper thrown in that promised we didn't buy it from somebody who used any material from an African country that no longer existed. > My hobbies during this period of employment consisted of driving around at midnight with no lights looking for people to fight and binge drinking.
