TIL the pacel pirate bomb marker guy worked at JPL for 9yrs. That's a really interesting career trajectory.

dude mentions it every chance he gets...
As he should. Nasa is cool.
I understand the dude needs to sell himself, but "hey I'm _____ and I worked at NASA!" isn't really that different from "hey I'm _____ and I went to Harvard!"
I don't care. He is selling Nasa as much as he is himself.

:D

Maybe not to you, but to me (and I think others) it is quite different. And he gets people excited about science and NASA that way too.
That is it. Why I don't care. He's doing good advocacy.
I kinda wonder why he left.
Same. I am sure he has good reasons. Might just be playful ones.
I avoid those "made for youtube" type channels with a bunch of kitschy experiments. I was just surprised he has a legit resume.
You should watch the squirrel video!
That's how NASA funding pays off!
