Something is wrong, no engineers but idiots, job creation and bean counters, pollyticsians, and going nowhere...

How fast was the space suit for the moon landers designed and build, and it worked!



Is our electronics future also like this? Like CERN?? Last hope Elon Musk?



And I have read no more high school exams to help the less capable.

China invented the gunpowder anyways...



NASA is brilliant at their primary mission, to spend money.

They should just tweak the original 1950s Belgian space suit design.

Just as Elon Musk copied the rockets landing on their tails.

An old original printed version may be worth a lot of money I'd think.
