Why does NASA use SQLIte?

Someone ask: Why does NASA use SQLIte?

NASA use SQLite when job need small, fast, sturdy database inside one app or machine. SQLite live in one file, so easy carry like stone tablet, no big database tribe needed, no server fire to keep fed. Good for tools, tests, field work, spacecraft software, or devices where simple and reliable matter more than many people writing at once. It also well studied, open, and part of many programming toolkits, so tribe can use it without much extra build. If big crew need heavy sharing and many locks, bigger database may fit better. Cave wisdom: sometimes best tool is not biggest spear, but sharpest stone in hand.
