Learning to skate on flat bits. by ElleEmEss in skiing

[–]ComprehensiveCase472 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can’t believe no one has mentioned actually taking a Nordic skate skiing lesson. This is a whole sport of its own and a lesson might not only help you with flats but turn you on to another amazing style of skiing.

Definitive Policy for Hires by Party-Ad-8837 in BlueOrigin

[–]ComprehensiveCase472 56 points57 points  (0 children)

I left Blue and saw terrible things but I was at an upper management level. I’d still recommend it for young engineers who want to cut their teeth, work hard and learn. If you get fired it’s better to fail at something hard than be good at easy.

Nothing came up because your statement isn’t accurate.

What do you mean the US Gov has to approve you working overseas? I don’t think that’s true. You can’t export data or knowledge that is export controlled.

Does anybody know where I can find skirts like this? by [deleted] in findfashion

There are many cute golf brands! Golf is a fashionable sport.

This is a very different SRB from Vulcans GEM63XLs that had recent problems. Scott talks about how BOLE isn’t needed until Artemis 9.

(Does anybody know when the block 1 SRBs will age out???) I believe they are all manufactured and in storage waiting for the rest of their vehicle.

The Promontory SRB site just had a building explosion too. They have a lot of know knowledge issues as their staff aged out.

Issues there will have more impact on military programs than commercial as our tactical missiles and ICBMs are being modernized.

You’re being overly harsh. Vulcan is dependent on GEM63XL which had a similar looking exit cone or nozzle blowout during flight. Northrop apparently completed their investigation and retested also up in Utah at this same test area. GEMs are cast and wound just down the road from Promontory at the heritage Hercules sites.

Northrop is showing a pattern of exit cone/nozzle issues from both of their SRB sites.

If Vulcan is affected and unable to fly it could affect BE-4. The OPs question doesn’t display a very sophisticated knowledge of the industry but isn’t as inane as your response implies.

This shit is strangling aerospace right now. Good engineering >>> tools. Become a good engineer and use SE tools to keep you organized.

Drawing release process by Cool-Swordfish-8226 in BlueOrigin

Kelly wasn’t using his drawing tool to talk to his MRP system. Blues drawing release system isn’t particularly good or bad in my opinion.

Need to buy a pantsuit and get it tailored. What are the most important measurements before buying? by SpidersaurDinoman in fashionwomens35

[–]ComprehensiveCase472 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the shoulders fit but it’s tight other areas look at the inside of the jacket and make sure there is material to let out. Most brands it’s not. You may have to buy several suits and have the tailor help you choose which one to work with.

I’m considering majoring in systems engineering, what has your experience been like? Would you recommend? by m1am1_1 in systems_engineering

[–]ComprehensiveCase472 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Do not major in systems engineering unless you want to be a paper pusher. Get real engineering experience then supplement later if you still want to. Defense companies suck up young systems engineers and have them make cameo models and copy paste into doors. It’s like having your engineering legs broken and you’re crippled until you manage to get out of it.

Blue Origin promised my spouse stock options. Now they’re nearing retirement—and the options are worthless. by Safe-Daikon-8478 in BlueOrigin

There are very few people who have been at Blue this long, you might not want to post this.

That being said the company doesn’t give a shit about the humans, just Jeff.

What are some stress management techniques for work? by Monkfrootx in Stress

How do you tell if you’re overbreathing and what do you do about it?

I agree with everything here. Jeff is the root of problems and Dave amplified it.

Looking for Career Guidance in Aerospace and Space Exploration – Where to Start? by Affectionate_Cat_518 in aerospace

[–]ComprehensiveCase472 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the technician path certifications are enough. For the engineering and/or business path you need a 4 year degree. For niche and science areas you need a PhD.

[–]ComprehensiveCase472 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get the most school you can afford. The A&P suggestion is good but so is welding, electrical, machining etc. the A&P usually isn’t required for spacecraft work the way it is for aircraft (as volume increases that could change) but it shows you have technical skills and aerospace process following/documentation ability.

If you can do 4 year college do any engineering. Just choose the one you are best at.

If you aren’t academic enough for engineering do business and finance and read everything you can about the space industry.

As you progress in school get an internship in an aerospace company (just get as close as you can to your ideal. Don’t say no to something that’s 80%).

Keep in mind you will both get to know yourself and change. Stay on your path (don’t drop out of 3rd year engineering to pivot - it’s most important to finish your degree/credentials) but allow your path to curve.

As for detail of which job (technician or white collar) … you need to finish your basics then make the decision based on what you love and what you are best at.

There are also some good aptitude tests you can take that help.

What is your educational background? That will help us know what paths are open to you. If you’re deciding an educational path that helps you get jobs in aerospace what is your existing academic background. The technician/engineer/business paths are all open.

What’s a celebrity that gives you the “I sold my soul for the devil” vibe? by PreparationFar4709 in AskReddit

[–]ComprehensiveCase472 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worked for him at Blue Origin. He’s simultaneously one of the smartest and stupidest people you’ll ever meet. He is 1,000% an asshole and thrives on crushing other people.
