Would be very interested in any writeups on how NASA anticipates all the thousands of scenarios that can go wrong up-front and prepares for them. Sounds like there might be some useful thoughts there on how to write more resilient software

I thought just that about the JWST; I remember an interview with one of the lead engineers saying he wasn't stressed about the launch because he knew they had done everything possible to ensure success and everything was in fate's hands now.

For Voyager 2, 45 years of uptime in the hazardous space environment, billions of miles away, is simply incredible.
