On a personal level, if you don't want to do engineering work, you should not be allowed to do engineering work on this project, at this company, or anywhere really. If you don't accept the responsibility of doing your own work, get out. There are other jobs you could do which don't carry the same responsibility and expectations - go find one.

Absolutely this 👆!

As I watch today’s #Artemis reentry and #splashdown streaming live, I marvel at the collective power of #human intellect and knowledge when collaboration, #research, and #trust in #mathematics & #engineering are tested through spaceflight.

While I always hope for a successful #space mission, the reentry process seems an especially precarious period because the Columbia disaster remains a vivid historical moment for me, demarcated by where I was and what I was doing when the tragedy occurred.
