Real engineers and scientists tend to not waste their resources in such non-productive ways.
Tell that to the Boilermakers at Purdue.....Then be prepared to duck....I know the guy who is the head of the department.....Purdue has lead the nation in aerospace technology (and the number of graduate in space) This technolgy is from the space program....Do believe that qualifies them as "Real engineers and scientists" May I suggest the next time you use a satellite connection you thank the same non-productive group.....
