Do you mean the batteries that pooled hydrogen gas?

Do you mean the gauges that pegged at 80 degrees fahrenheit?

Do you mean the launch-pad voltage of 65, or the space craft's operating voltage of 24, which fused the oxygen tank's relay?

Do you mean the oxygen tank's accident, where it was dropped several meters?

Do you mean the pogo oscillation of the second stage, which caused an engine shutdown, which also just-so-happened to cause problems with a previous Apollo mission?

To which faulty part are you referring?

Are you, metaphorically, referring to NASA as a faulty part?
