What are we doing?
Barry Kirby explores aspects of Human Factors, from practitioners in the field, through Processes and Tools that are useful (or not) and other Information and News that may be beneficial. For HF people to keep in touch and non-HF people to hear what we do.
Why 1202?
We suggest you listen to Season 1, Episode 1 and you will get the detail, but in short, the podcast was born in the anniversary year of Apollo 11 landings, and just before the landing on the moon, there was a spurious alert that nearly aborted the landing because no one knew what it meant. This alert was 1202 (and then later 1201). The alert turned out not to be too serious, but it took time to work out and determine the risk and impact, all because of a meaningless number. Barry thought it would be great to bring this into the podcast, also because he is fascinated in all things Space.
