Yes, it's incredible how little content there is in some of these programs. Still, while they don't quantify "a few weeks", it still seems like an amazing bit of engineering to get it done at short notice, and the problem seemed to be pilot error rather than mechanical, if the documentary is to be believed.

I am SO getting that shit for my truck. I HATE traffic.

It's a winged metaphor for the Carter Administration! And the Obama one as well.

Since it was just pilot/operator error it seems like it can still be plausible. Install a safety that doesn't let the brake rockets fire til the wheels touch. Done.
