Expertise and education do not equal intelligence.

My dad is a literal rocket scientist with an illustrious career at NASA navigating satellites and space probes. University of Missouri, but CalTech / MIT material math wizard.
He’s full MAGA now. The scary part is now he regurgitates FOX News sound bites he’d disagree with twenty years ago.

Did he ever take gabapentin?

They’re cutting some of that stuff at NASA. Does he work for the ScaN folks? That’s LEGS, HDTN, CSP, NEO, TDRSS, NEN, DSN, etc. I just wonder if people who are getting their jobs cut are still gung ho for Trump.

Oh he’s retired now. He worked on CloudSat (and just retired it; it served a long time to scan storms and hurricanes even after it started malfunctioning). He also worked on OCO (Orbital Carbon Observatory), and its successor, but the faring on the rocket failed to disconnect both times and it fell into the South Atlantic. Launch vehicles don’t come with a warranty, I learned.
