   I heard from another friend of mine that lisp is to be used on a new
   automated satellite as its native language.  Granted, the standard
   implementations of scheme/lisp won't pass NASA's strict tests for
   robustness (in space), there is a commercial version being developed
   specifically with these tests in mind.  (The point of this was that
   the popularity and use of scheme/lisp is extending beyond academia
   alone.)

I would really love to learn more about it, not just because of
curiousity.
