Step 1: Selecting an Area. You may have identified several high-priority kaizen opportunities through Value Stream Mapping. Select an area that has a relatively sound process and a high likelihood of success. It is important to succeed quickly in the first kaizen event to build momentum for the subsequent events.
You have to look at crewed missions to deep space differently than you look at robotic missions. The New Horizons spacecraft will take eight and a half or nine years to reach Pluto, and that is too long for human spaceflight.
Pluto. Pluto was a planet for 76 years until it was reclassified as a dwarf planet in 2006. Discovered by Clyde Tombaugh in 1930, Pluto's existence was first predicted by Percival Lowell in 1915.
