Currently have a contractor offer from NASA I'm probably going to turn down for a mom and pop electrical repair company lmao

Doesn't take much to be principled.

Wait what was the ethical dilemma working with NASA?

[–] LordGimp@lemm.ee 2 points 2 weeks ago

More or less the same you'd have working for Grumen or Lockheed. NASA wind tunnels were often critical tools in developing more efficient drone designs, for example. The product is the data, and you get no say in how that data is used.

On the one hand I agree with you, it's not hard. On the other hand if everyone had principles, it might be hard to find a job.
