An engineer who is any good works things out. 90% of the world's
population lives on 10% of the land surface. It takes far less mass to
support a desert with SSP than it does to build an O'Neill colony.
This is obvious to any engineer. You are clearly not an engineer.

That doesn't seem so clear to the many people who have hired me to do
engineering.

I just got a shudder at the thought of that. So many it would seem
that you change jobs a lot.

Yes, that's what consultants do, you moron.

Many "consultants" are corporate failures.

And many are not, so once again, you have no point.

My point is and has been to replace pomposity with humility.


You used to work in the
corporate world now you have found enough fools to hire you as
yourself.

Were they supposed to hire me as someone else?

One could only hope...

No, I found intelligent people to hire me. Something that you'd have
trouble doing, I suspect.

I have just as long as a work career as you and the same number and
level of degrees. We have been through this.

Particularly if they read a few of your
Usenet posts. It wouldn't take more than a few, because they are all
uniformly idiotic.

You wouldn't know how to create, implement or maintain a ground
system, if it bit you on the ass. Keep baffling them with your space
segment "knowledge" as you'd never make it on the ground.
