#2 Why have the office of the 'Chief Scientist' anyway? This isn't the 1970's where you would want a generalist in house researcher, like a 'Chief Scientist' (being paid a 6 figure salary), with a staff of research assistants (each drawing a 5 figure salary) to physically go out and access scientific articles in various libraries and agencies.

#3 I'm still trying to figure why it's important or relevant that NASA be Simon pure diverse, equitable, and inclusive. They relied on people who weren't, like Werner von Braun back in the days when they were going to the moon with Fortran, if they were modern and up to date, and punch cards. Is adhering to a party line that important? Or is being able to calculate a trajectory or fuel requirements? Can't a misogynistic racist inspect O rings?
