Well Craig taking a little liberty to stray off point and also being a "rocket scientist" (fuels and propellants for rocket engines with Rocketdyne 40+ years), what was your area of endeavor in the field?
Well, you asked.
USAF Academy B.S. in Astronautical Engineering and Engineering Science (double major)
Purdue University M.S. in Astronautics
NASA Apollo program 7 thru 12 in Landing & Recovery Division which included during Apollo 7 & 8 training the US Navy how to recover Apollo Command modules from the ocean and then Apollo 9 thru 12 in the Mission Control Center in Houston during those missions and particularly the landing phase in the ocean (usually Pacific).
USAF Defense Support Program (DSP) which was a geosynchronous detection satellite which provided real-time sensing of ICBM, IRBM or SLBM missile launches against the entire North American continent. This system was so good that it still exists today. My job as a Captain (O-3) was as Orbital Operations Officer which meant anytime we had to maneuver the DSP satellite somewhere for whatever reason, I had to supervise and coordinate that.
BTW, my opinion of rocket fuel and propellant guys is of the highest order!
After the "rocket science" stuff, I got into cars. LOL!

P.S. BigKev: sorry for hijacking your thread.
