I had experience with one of the programmers for the instrumentation
unit for the S5 stage which was in the ring between the first and second
stages, I think.
I was an expert witness in a lawsuit having nothing at all to do with
this, but he was the expert called for the other party.
To make a long story short, expert witness' credentials frequently turn
out to be who has the best credentials.
I talked to him before we went in to a deposition, and I granted him
that point before we even started.
I feel privileged to have met him, and wish we could have visited more
on the subject rather than what we were paid to do. Sadly I was not
even supposed to get into anything but luckily this was told to us after
we had chatted.
I think his name was Tom Follett, and I do not recall ever finding
anything about him. I believe that he had a PhD, but I do not recall
much else, such as company, or education.
I don't know much about what this system had to do other than ground to
second stage ignition guidance tasks.
