Can't those people at NASA get anything right now a days? geez. First it was those two Mars probes. Then that whole problem with Cassini. Now this. Not to mention that they shelved the Pluto probe mission as well....

MIB: Instead of griping you really should explain what your topic header means first, because there are people who may not know what you're talking about.

Not really. Not recently. I f**ked up my neck a few days ago and ever sense then I've been living in some very bad pain. I haven't been in a good mood lately.

New technologies are going to have their crack-ups. Get used to it. The Wright Brothers crashed on occasion.
And Cassini never had any problems (except a few environmentalist alarmist wackos.)
I think you're thinking about Galileo, and it's stuck main antenna, which they managed to work around and perform magnificently despite of...
Hell, that little Jupiter probe's outlasted its original mission design lifetime by something like 400%!

There seem to be tons of NASA projects and experiments that seem to go right also, at least that news site had some to share. That ScramJet technology sounds sexy and promising indeed...
