The need for perpetual vigilance to prevent natural processes from turning the useful to rust or dust* … and yet, the universe still maintains its combination of structure and dynamic behavior … are evidence that we didn’t just happen … we weren’t just created … but that the Creator is still intervening in His creation to this day.

Including with humanity, for the behavioral/moral order is subject to corrosion by us, with similar destructive results.

* though as a “battery guy”, this means y’all keep buying more batteries from me :)

Better to engineer change out/inspection hardware and logistics and rebuild/repack methods to minimize turn around time and cost. The fact that this problem was allowed to cause a failure on orbit is a bit disconcerting.
