thanks to Obama/Biden/Harris, NASA now focuses on muslim outreach, affirmative action, DEI and ESG in their hiring.
This country would be much better off with 100 more Elon Musks and 100 less democrats.
In those heady and important days beore the moon landing, I was working a gig with a BigName HiTek development corp.
2 am, and I had to pee.
So, I walked down the long dark hall in th enormous building, and into the restroom.
There was a night-shift team cleaning woman in there, and she told me to use a booth if her presence was a problem.
When I was done, we got to talking, and she said at one point, “We’re going to the moon!”
I have never forgotten her (Marcy James) or that incident.
She was absolutey a Full Participant in The Program to her mind; and was completely invested in the spirit of the thing.
As my short-sleeve white shirt and K&E 6-inch (short) skiderule shifted around a bit as I walked back to the test area, I marveled at our collectve immersion in The Program, and our joint American indominable enthusiasm in the Value of our work — right down to the cleaning lady at 2am in the men’s can.
We need that spirit back.
