Abstract
The paper describes how "smaller, faster, cheaper" were the watchwords in 1995 as aerospace and military program managers tried to cut the cost of doing business-without cutting the missions or goals of their programs. One of the most ambitious of these efforts took place at the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Washington, DC, which moved to slash its workforce and to develop new lines of spacecraft that would be smaller and more autonomous than the Galileo vehicle, which limped to Jupiter with the assistance of a legion of ground controllers. Civilian aircraft companies expected to sell more commuter aircraft than jumbo jets. And the military found that defending itself against battlefield missiles is still as difficult as it was in Desert Storm.
