A retired NASA engineer who had worked on the Space Shuttle program for 25 years was hired by SpaceX at age 62. He described the first week as the most disorienting experience of his professional life.

At NASA, a design change required 3 meetings, 2 committees, a review board, and 6 to 18 months of documentation. At SpaceX, his new supervisor said "if it works, build it. If it doesn't, change it by Friday."

He sat at his desk after the first day and called his wife. He told her he felt like a man who had been swimming with ankle weights for 25 years and someone just cut them off. He could move. He could decide. He could build something in the morning and test it in the afternoon. The constraint that he had accepted as the nature of aerospace engineering turned out to be the nature of bureaucracy.

Within 6 months he had contributed to more design iterations than he had completed in his last 5 years at NASA. Not because he was working harder. Because the time between having an idea and testing the idea collapsed from months to hours. The same brain. The same knowledge. A different operating system.

He described a specific moment where he proposed a modification to a Raptor engine component. At NASA, the proposal would have entered a queue. At SpaceX, the modification was machined by the end of the day and tested by the following morning. He watched his idea become a physical object in 18 hours. At NASA, 18 hours would not have been enough to schedule the first meeting to discuss whether to schedule a meeting.

He told an interviewer: "I didn't get smarter when I went to SpaceX. I got faster. The intelligence was always there. The system was in the way."

The difference between SpaceX and NASA is not talent. NASA has extraordinary talent. The difference is the time between a thought and a test. SpaceX compresses it. NASA elongates it. The same engineer produces 10x more at SpaceX than at NASA because the bottleneck was never the engineer. It was the meetings about the meetings about the work.

The media and left should be held responsible for the rhetoric they spewed about Charlie Kirk

They demonized him to the point someone felt they needed to end his life

[Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh]

🚨 BREAKING: President Trump from the Oval Office has just addressed the assassination of Charlie Kirk and declared he will go after those who perpetrate political violence.

"My administration will find each and every one of those who contributed to this atrocity and to other political violence, including the organizations that fund it and support it, as well as those who go after our judges, law enforcement officials, and everyone else who brings order to our country."

"I am filled with grief and anger at the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk on a college campus in Utah. Charlie inspired millions, tonight all who knew him and loved him are united in shock and horror."

"From the attack on my life in Butler, Pennsylvania last year, which killed a husband and father, to the attacks on ICE agents, to the vicious murder of a healthcare executive in the streets of New York, to the shooting of House Majority Leader Steve Scalise and three others. Radical left political violence has hurt too many innocent people and taken too many lives. "

"Tonight, I ask all Americans to commit themselves to the American values for which Charlie Kirk lived and died, the values of free speech, citizenship, the rule of law."

"His legacy will live on for countless generations to come. Today, because of this heinous act, Charlie's voice has become bigger and grander than ever before, and it's not even close. May God bless his memory. May God watch over his family."

Can a movement built on anger achieve anything good?

DISTURBING: SC pilot flying volunteer supply and rescue missions ordered out of Lake Lure, NC under arrest threat.

A man who was a pilot, a certified law enforcement officer, and a volunteer member of the fire department, over the weekend went on a rescue mission with his son but after rescuing a a North Carolina woman was forced to leave a her husband behind because he was threatened with arrest by a firefighter official.

This is madness!

Remember, everything the Democrats warned Trump would do…
Was a playbook of what the Democrats intended to do themselves;
Doing anything to stay in power,
Political show trials of political opponents,
arresting political opponents,
Censoring opposing views,
Starting more wars…

And that is contrary to the spirit of democracy. Democracy requires a broad sense of civic inclusion. Democracy is the “rule of the people.” But if we are at each other’s throats, there is no “the people.” #Kennedy24

[Robert F. Kennedy Jr @RobertKennedyJr]

Once you believe that, anything becomes justified to defeat them. And so, we see a more and more vicious, ruthless, and unethical politics that seeks victory by ANY MEANS NECESSARY.

[Robert F. Kennedy Jr @RobertKennedyJr]

Hillary Clinton commented on CNN suggesting that MAGA supporters need “formal deprogramming.” Brings to mind reeducation camps and Communist-style political indoctrination. But there is something about it even more troubling.

Look at this woman - Let us never forget!

The world hasn't just become wicked...it's always been wicked.

The prize doesn't always go to the most deserving.

Her name is Irena Sendler

She Died 12 May 2008 (aged 98) in Warsaw, Poland

During WWII, Irena, got permission to work in the Warsaw ghetto, as a plumbing/sewer specialist.

She had an 'ulterior motive'.

She KNEW what the Nazi's plans were for the Jews (being German).

Irena smuggled infants out in the bottom of the tool box she carried and she carried in the back of her truck a burlap sack, (for larger children).

She also had a dog in the back that she trained to bark when the Nazi soldiers let her in and out of the ghetto.

The soldiers of course wanted nothing to do with the dog and the barking covered the infants' noises.

During her time of doing this, she managed to smuggle out and save 2500 children/infants.

She was caught, and the Nazi's broke both her legs, arms and beat her severely.

Irena kept a record of the names of all the kids she smuggled out and kept them in a glass jar, buried under a tree in her back yard.

After the war, she tried to locate any parents that may have survived it and reunited the family.

Most had been gassed. Those children she helped got placed into foster family homes or adopted.

Last year Irena was up for the Nobel Peace Prize.

She was not selected.

President Obama won one year before becoming President for his work as a community organizer for ACORN

Al Gore won also --- for a slide show on Global Warming.

In MEMORIAM - 63 YEARS LATER

We're doing our small part by posting this message.

I hope you'll consider doing the same...

It is now more than 60 years after the Second World War in Europe ended.

This posting stands as a memorial chain, in memory of the six million Jews, 20 million Russians, 10 million Christians and 1,900 Catholic priests who were murdered, massacred, raped, burned, starved and humiliated!

Now, more than ever, with Iran, and others, claiming the HOLOCAUST to be 'a myth'.

It's imperative to make sure the world never forgets, because there are others who would like to do it again.

Share this posting and be a link in the memorial chain and help us distribute it around the world.

It will only take you a minute to pass this along...
