My Google-fu seems to indicate it has something to do with maintaining a stable system in a signal processing circuit? If the poles are on the right side of the s-plane, the system isn't stable?

Not that I really understand what that all means

Correct! The same math is used to analyze the stability of control systems and of electronic filters.

Like I said, it was an old joke...

 Saw the launch of Columbia (STS78) 20 june 1996 from the astronaut hall of fame.
Or should i say ecperienced it. Felt the ignition, and the crowds reaction was marvellous. An experience to remember.

...One investigator says "Ah ha, I know exactly what happened. You can't have all your poles on the right side of the plane!"

Now how many people got that?

Don't make eye contact with him, folks; he's unstable.

ETA: Darn you to heck, BazBear!

One of our guys at KSC took a couple of pictures of the Orion stack on its way to LC 37 for its rendezvous with the Delta IV Heavy.  It's been stacked on the booster; 3 weeks to EFT-1.

ETA: I was on a conference call to KSC this morning and overheard the PA, "Attention all stations; all hands supporting Orion initial power-up report to Firing Room 1 at 1100 hours."  Good stuff.

You know, it looks a little like a terminal (low wattage) VOR...
