So bully for sub-par engineers! Shows like this help keep my kids interested in science. My 9-year old is learning everything he can about the periodic table so he can be a chemical engineer when he grows up. Believe me, as a parent, this is a great show.

I think you misunderstand just who the target audience is. It's not the guys at NASA.

I’m a parent too, and one of the things I teach my 3 kids is “If you do something, do it right”. My problem with the show isn’t the technical level, it’s that they consistently make factual mistakes.
