My training is as an aeronautical engineer. It's an administrative quirk that's not what my degree is in. I've worked many NASA contracts.

The bulk of these have been in aviation safety research. Yep! NASA is the federal agency in charge of aviation safety.
-
This work involved things like: - how to detect if a sensor fails and isolate it from autopilot - corrosion of turbine disks
-
All of these things are super important! Air France 447 went down because of bad sensor input. Eyjafjallajokull accelerated engine wear.
-
Guess what this proposed budget does? Yep, cuts. Cut cut cut. Who even needs aviation safety, am I right?
-
This kind of work isn't sexy but it saves lives and saves millions to billions of both taxpayer and private sector dollars. Cut.

I can't even begin to describe how much of a shit sandwich this budget proposal is. It's a huge self-own.pic.twitter.com/KyhQ1TZwmt
