    In fairness NASA does not likely currently employ too many Nazis, compared to say other large aerospace companies that often get govt contracts for similar kinds of groundbreaking engineering work.

    Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, etc.

    My cousin, my Jewish cousin actually had to leave a promising engineering contract at Lockheed (likely Skunkworks, more on that later), because he could not handle the Anti Semitism, far right views of coworkers, combined with having to basically live in the middle of nowhere.

    He now works for Blue Origin.

    Given my cousin’s expertise in advanced ceramics and what he mentioned about his work, I’m convinced he was working in the SR 72 but he of course cannot confirm due to NDA.

      Sincerely,

      Your friend the internet user.

      Not a big surprise that engineers in the military industrial complex are racist right wing chuds.

      There’s a plant where I live that refurbishes non-nuclear components of nuclear weapons. I haven’t yet seen any of their engineering staff implicated in the January 6 insurrection, but I figure with the politics I’ve heard out of that bunch it’s only a matter of time.
