Dr. Stephen Johnson has over 6 years on SHM / Fault Management, and “Command, Control, Communications, and Information” for the Ares I project and Constellation program, as well as helping to develop a Fault Management Handbook for NASA at the Agency level, and the two publications described above. Since 2006, he has also published papers on the Political Economy of Space, and the NASA “cultural problem” with failure. Dr. Johnson is a space history historian as a whole, to the NASA human spaceflight programs under development, to launchers specifically, and then in a disciplinary sense SHM/Fault Management and systems engineering. He thinks a lot about how things fail and what to do to address failure in designs of complex human/machine systems.
