Eyes Wide Open - Transparent Risk Assessment For Safety Critical Avionics

This podcast focuses on failure-tolerant avionics for space systems, exploring the discipline of validating engineering assumptions and the necessity of accepting risk transparently in high-stakes aerospace environments. It uses real-world incidents, NASA reports, accident investigations, and peer-reviewed research to illustrate the dangers of unvalidated redundancy, common cause failures, and the importance of rigorous fault hypothesis documentation for crew safety and mission success
