Like, that was fun.

But it was just, like, going around to different parts of, like, Kennedy Space Center, literally getting a tour with a bunch of aerospace engineer students.

And at the time, and this is kind of funny, too, because I used to think it felt a little bit bullshitty to have these... And again, I don't know, like, I'm not going to insult the experts, but something felt off about...

there being a whole enterprise around how you organize your enterprise.

It feels kind of like prompt engineering nowadays.

It's surprising how...

how much of a discipline do you make the things that feel like soft skills?

And so that internship was very much like trying to see how different parts of NASA were working together or like, like that.

But it's such a high level view that I think I was like, this isn't the tech.

And maybe in hindsight though, I should have like appreciated it more.

But I think at the time it was just weird going from like, you know, rivet, rivet, rivet plane to, uh,

Yeah, I mean, one of them I think ended up going, they were awesome.

I was probably just a little bit annoying because I was younger and like, and I was like, ITAR, ITAR, ITAR, no.

There's a kid at Lars that's freaked out over, like, iTara things.

But, like, who could see documents?

But basically, like, one of them, I think, was going to go in the Air Force.

Maybe he did.

I hope so.

I don't know.

I didn't really follow up because I ended up going to a different major later.
