there is not a bona fide corporation in the world that would hire dozens and dozens of severely underqualified and lightly buttered green behind the ears applicants. This is how you run anything into the ground. I know, that's what they're doing, that's the point.

We all know that if you have listened to the songs Rocket Man by Elton John, Spaceman by Harry Nilson and Space Oddity by David Bowie, (several times of course) you are fully qualified for positions like that. It's all in the lyrics.

head of the Joints Chiefs of Staff or maybe Supreme Court Justice.
He has probably been exposed to enough of the trump genius to know how to do those jobs.

Space Force missed out on a great Chief of Staff. Marvin the Martian needs a wingman. The development of the space modulator really needs a champion. (How long before some wag superimposes him into Marvin's suit?)

Zero experience and can you imagine how the people who work there that may have to work for him are going to feel? Some of them have probably years of experience, a few degrees (my son is a NASA engineer so I know this firsthand), high IQ's and they'll have to take orders from this jerkwad.

Ugh. Someone wake me up when the U.S. has come to their senses.
