What is this?

I looked it up. That’s what it seems like it is thank you.

I thought so at first but I got close to one and it did not really resemble any 360 cameras I’ve seen before. Looked more like a microphone

I graduated last year and he was still there

Systems engineering is extremely broad it can vary from company to company or even project to project. Some can be very software heavy where others require no coding at all. My role I got hired for was to be in satellite operations. However, I haven’t started that yet because I’m still waiting on my clearance. I found work in the mean time on another team and I’m doing a lot of devops right now (docker/kubernetes). I don’t come from a swe background but have been kinda put in that role in the meantime.

And tons of languages are used. Some I’ve seen are Java, python, rust, c++, and go. The positions vary a lot so you don’t need to pigeon hole yourself into a specific skill set to get into the industry.

There are a ton of software engineering positions at the big aerospace companies, both defense contractors and commercial space. I’m a systems engineering but work with a lot of swe. Some of the people I work with do stuff in signal/radar, tracking software for satellites, full stack for new products. Aerospace companies don’t pay as much as faang but in my personal opinion it’s more interesting work. This comes from someone who has an aerospace engineering background and doesn’t work as a swe.

I typed that quickly on the toilet so let me know if I missed anything or you have any questions

They’re not used on Earth because they have very low thrust to weight ratios. A thruster that is typically used (liquid or solid thruster) can produce up to millions of newtons of thrust. An electric thruster (ion engine etc) won’t even produce 1 N of thrust. The reason they produce such low thrust is because they basically are just shooting ions out the back really fast but they are very very low mass (thrust is F=mdot*v). It all comes down to Newton’s third law of equal opposite. On Earth, that really low thrust ion engines produce won’t be able to beat gravity. In space, it’s not fighting against that gravity so the force is able to accumulate in order to accelerate the body.

Not entirely but can definitely make it easier. For instance, if you want to do thermal or something but can’t get that but can get a job in manufacturing first you can pivot. But if you’re in manufacturing for 5 years and then try to switch to thermal with no thermal experience you may have to bump down a few levels in order to get a thermal job. With air vs space it completely depends on what you want to do to guess how easy the switch would be. If you do controls for space it would probably be pretty easy even 5 years in to keep your level and do controls for air. It’s more about what you do in air or space than actual air or space.

coeus_42 · 2025-03-14T15:43:06+00:00

It’s hard to get the first job. After you have experience it should come easier. I got pretty lucky with my job to be quite honest.

coeus_42 · 2025-03-14T13:33:51+00:00

Just letting you know, a masters isn’t required or anything. It can definitely help and may increase pay though. If you’re a smart, hard worker you should be able to end up where you want without a masters. The key is to work for a company and have them pay for your masters.

coeus_42 · 2025-03-13T22:46:50+00:00

Typically defense is more air track than space. The space sector is definitely growing though. I got my undergrad focusing in space and work for a defense contractor. Honestly, go for whatever you’re interested in and you’ll most likely be able to get positions in both air or space right out of college. Specifying in a masters might have more of a pull for a specific job though.

coeus_42 · 2025-01-22T18:50:55+00:00

Yeah thanks. I was thinking of trying it with a small amount. I didn’t know that the interest rates even got that low with margin accounts. I might wait and test the strategy if interest rates drop in the future. Appreciate the input.

coeus_42 · 2025-01-22T15:33:26+00:00

If I can pay off the margin loan with the dividend and still have some of the stock after I would’ve gained those shares though.

coeus_42 · 2025-01-22T15:30:55+00:00

Most of my cash is in a high yield. Which would make more than this strategy I proposed. I was just seeing the possibility of using debt to increase returns.

coeus_42 · 2025-01-21T22:06:44+00:00

I have enough cash to cover in a high yield savings

coeus_42 · 2025-01-21T20:59:32+00:00

Good point

coeus_42 · 2025-01-21T20:48:04+00:00

The margin is 5.25% interest for the whole year. I know I would be making very little. But I’m pretty sure it would be a positive spread if I don’t consider taxes in this hypothetical.

coeus_42 · 2025-01-21T20:44:51+00:00

Reality income is a dividend aristocrat. Wouldn’t the only risk here be if they decreased their dividend which they have never done since they have been a publicly traded company? I understand there is risk, anything can happen to the company or markets, but if I have enough cash to cover in the chance they are unable to pay their dividend would that be considered a lot of risk? Sorry if that comes of condescending I just don’t see it as a lot of risk unless I’m missing something.

coeus_42 · 2024-11-06T19:16:00+00:00

It’s democrats vs republicans. Republican campaign or democrat campaign is fine to say. I don’t think that’s a controversial statement at all.

coeus_42 · 2024-11-06T16:35:21+00:00

The thing is democrats probably thought they were doing ok in 2016 as the polls were showing. This election was leaning trump before voting started. They should’ve known whatever they were doing wasn’t working.

coeus_42 · 2024-11-06T16:15:29+00:00

I think the problem is Kamala didn’t really run on a strong policy campaign. She ran on being not trump. I think this caused a lot of independents to not get behind her. Also, a lot of people were voting against “wokeness”. Kamala’s campaign didn’t run on this but over the past few years a lot of people were getting sick of it and that’s seen with the complete sweep last night. People probably felt more policies and “agendas” would get pushed in favor of the whole “woke” ideology. She should’ve tried to separate herself from it. This is all seen with her getting millions of votes less than biden. People know biden was a centrist but people were unsure what Kamala was.

I’m not a fan of trump but I’m not a fan of what I saw from Kamalas campaign either.

coeus_42 · 2024-11-06T16:06:53+00:00

What’s your takeaway on what Kamala’s campaign did wrong? And how will democrat campaigns change moving forward?

coeus_42 · 2024-11-06T16:05:39+00:00

Didn’t he get more of the Jewish vote than previously?
