Now is when it starts to get tougher. As systems testing goes into high gear the real dragons will be hiding in the code, not the circuit boards or hydraulic actuators. Lockheed-Martin seems to feel that they've got a handle on it. Of course it's their job to be optimistic in public and pessimistic in private. If the schedule holds, then they were right, if it starts to drag, my money is on software as the most likely culprit. Stay tuned!
