  • Wiseman served in the Navy 1997-~2009 as a fighter pilot, flight and weapons tester, strike operations officer. He studied computer and systems engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic in NY, and later a masters in systems engineering at Johns Hopkins.

    Glover served in the Navy 1999-~2013 as a fighter pilot, test pilot, department head. He holds three masters degrees from USAF Air University and Naval Postgraduate School,

    Koch is a bonafide scientist with no military background.

    Hansen was a youth Royal Canadian Air Cadet, and graduated from the Royal Military College in Ontario with a BS in space science and a masters in physics.

    “Jarhead” is technically a term relegated only to Marines, though colloquially I believe it also applies to any grunt.

    These people, while certainly indoctrinated to some degree, are educated. Only two of them have served in combat roles (as pilots).

    And their background does not change the reality of their demeanor RE: presidential call nor the words and messages they have chosen to promulgate. They’re all clear in their intentions; by discounting that you are no better than the MAGA fucks and regurgitative libs.

    Yeah, that’s the trajectory we’re on, for sure. But how long do we have until Earth is literally cooked?

    This is the angle I take, and the reason I will always remain enthusiastic RE: space exploration.

    However, I don’t go advocating for it in the same way I do more “surface-level” issues. My voice is better used in fixing the problems down here, yes, but I’m still supportive of space science, discoveries, and their ancillary contributions to science down here.
