Delphi e NASA

David I, que andava meio sumido (pelo menos do seu blog), voltou a postar, e trouxe uma notícia curiosa e interessante:

It was great to visit NASA/Johnson Space Center in Houston while the Space Shuttle (STS 119) was docked wth the International Space Station (…)  Just let me say that high speed, native code is critical to some of the systems on the Shuttle and ISS, and Delphi and C++Builder are key parts of some of the critical systems.

Ou seja, a NASA está usando o Delphi e o CBuilder para desenvolver programas usados em sistemas críticos do ônibus espacial e da estação espacial.
