Not certain which brand of engineer you are. I did my degree in aerospace and have spent 30+ years in industrial control systems, automation and robotics. Back in 2002 I met Harrison Schmitt (Apollo 17). Nice guy and I wanted to talk to him about satellite maintenance he that's nice but go look at Helium-3. I did and since I'm Australian I went off to our mining industry because I though if I ever had to chance to fulfill that dream of doing what he did I'd need RELEVANT experience. I thought I knew stuff, but damn I got dozens and dozens of eye openers. During the 2nd 1/2 of the 2000s and 1st 1/2 of the 2010s we built dozens of new mines to feed the Chinese beast. Most of it was in remote locations some of it was near towns and the difference between construction in remote areas is staggering. Really basic construction stuff like concrete, scaffolding, cranes all become exercises in logistics and planning. Then there is the basic thing of accommodation and services that support the people who work there. On more than a few occasions people couldn't understand why I wanted to work on the stuff around the accommodation camp. Things like the water, sewerage, domestic power and entertainment systems. Guess what if we build a Moon base or Mars base people are going to eat, pee & poop and want to be entertained. Someone has to know about that stuff and even in companies that do this stuff every day there are head office geniuses who IGNORE what they get told. I got a monster reality check on supporting infrastructure and its way more involved than people think. Despite all that people DO KNOW from real experience across all sorts of fields of science and engineering there's always people who think they know better. What CSS is showing is that Angry is just armchair expert who knows nothing about doing real world science and engineering.
