you worked in missile defense at nasa is that right not those are two separate things i worked
ballistic missile defense initiative and then later i worked with nasa
with reagan yeah and then how did you transition from the star wars stuff to nasa well
and one of the one of the businesses that i uh worked for was nasa so i worked for them for a couple
other jobs that were short and then i retired the first time so what kind of services were you providing nasa
well nasa needed someone to to help them with modeling what i did is i made big physics models
computer and the problem nasa had that they hired me for was one of understanding what the risks were
for that because that they were having problem at nasa in that time because they had just uh gone
what's going on here so anyway that was lots of fishy stuff they let walk out the door at nasa
altogether and said nasa no longer designs now the designs outsourced so nasa became the
the work was done in house at nasa all the basic physics and design work it was shipped out to
industry to actually build nasa didn't build the materials but they did design and now i don't think
and it seems so strange to me that that people at such a high level in companies like spacex or nasa
