I liked the emphasis on the people not wearing ties. Those engineers and
technicians who are dressed in jeans, t-shirts, baseball caps, some even
wearing their hair in pony tail, they are the ones who are doing the real
work behind the scenes. On their dedication and skilled craftmanship the
whole program depends.

At my piece of NASA, we engineers thought we were dressed up if we
weren't wearing a tee shirt with a picture of an airplane or a college
mascot on it.

OK, kidding aside, the engineers dress casually unless they're
representing NASA to outsiders. We dress up for company and when we
travel. Otherwise, it's jeans or chinos, tees or polo shirts, and
running shoes. Managers dress a little better and secretaries dress
the best.
