I've been wondering for a while now who will make things work after the "old white guy" engineers all retire or die
Take a look at the movie "Idiocracy" for a hint . . . and I
don't think it will take the movie's 500 years to reach that point. Just consider that NASA - repeatedly! - put men on the moon and brought them back in the 60s and 70s, and now, 40 years later, the USA has NO repeat NO manned space flight capability! We have to go to
Russia, hat in hand, to put our people in orbit. BUT . . . NASA has diversity and EEOC goals so it's a kinder, gentler, more inclusive employer.
Or, casting your gaze abroad, look at places like Zimbabwe and RSA to see what happens when the nasty, hateful old white guys are given the boot.
