How to implement a software development process in an existing project?
My question involves setting up a Software Development process. If you came in to an existing project that had no formal methodology or process set up, and then were asked to set one up yourself, how would you handle it?

I am rather unsure how to implement them into an existing project.
What is the Mars Curiosity Rover’s software built in?
The Mars Curiosity rover has landed successfully, and one of the promo videos “7 minutes of terror” brags about there being 500,000 lines of code. It’s a complicated problem, no doubt. But that is a lot of code, surely there was a pretty big programming effort behind it. Does anyone know anything about this project? I can only imagine it’s some kind of embedded C.

Why would it take hours to decode transmissions from Curiosity rover via MRO?
This video clip by NASA says that data from Curiosity relayed by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) would be stored for a few hours, then transmitted to Earth (apparently taking about 14 minutes), after which it would take hours for engineers to decode the data.
What are the advantages of programming to under an OS as opposed to bare metal executive?
Assume you are presented with an embedded system application to program, in C, on a multi-core environment (think a Cavium or Tilera) and need to choose between two environments:
