How do you put this on a resume?

SPOKANE, Wash. - David Atkinson spent 18 years designing an experiment for the unmanned space mission to Saturn. Now some pieces of it are lost in space. Someone forgot to turn on the instrument Atkinson needed to measure the winds on Saturn’s largest moon.

“I (and the rest of my team) waited and waited and waited,” he wrote, as the probe descended. “We watched the probe enter and start transmitting data, but our instrument never turned on.”

Damn, now if that isn’t the most frustrating thing ever. He’s worked for 18 years… thats about as long as I have had jobs!
Someone definitely needs to go to the machine gun range when he gets home and burn off a few thousand rounds!
