and one of the biggest questions in hypersonics: boundary layer behavior, which typically involves application of PDE similarity solutions.

lting in a generation gap in technical specialists, further resulting the bizarre conundrum wherein zoomers are forced to dig up old codes from the 60s as the field of hypersonics is revived and explodes out from a skeleton crew that'd barely been clinging to existence since then.

OPEC's hijinks and shenanigans in the 70s actually hamstrung aerospace engineering as a science entirely as fluctuations in the oil supply drew american engineering talent away from aerospace toward petroleum, and so weakened sub disciplines like hypersonics died altogether, resu.

Real Aerospace Engineering Classes will teach you the link between similarity solutions for partial differential equations to middle eastern economics and I'm literally not exaggerating even in the slightest.

if you can't explain the geopolitical and economic context to your work tracking back to the 1500s are you really even an enigneer.

i understand why europeans massacred each other by the millions over theology debates now.

"i put funny symbols on paper and that makes me smart" is how arrogant teenagers think. grow up and actually go create something. what's in your head does not matter if you never turn it into something real. you do not live if you do not act. you might as well be a brain in a jar.

this is engineering bachelor's level math

elon musk is actually a pretty clever guy and has made some good points, he just got carried away with the drugs and lobotomized himself a few years back and he hasn't been as sharp ever since.

step 1:

after seeing all the horseshit in "tech" i'm starting to think that that "how to think like a rocket scientist" grift class may actually be legit, because a lot of you motherfuckers are very much not thinking like rocket scientists and it's painfully obvious.

you should be flattered. the aura of "this guy could get away with murder" is infinitely cooler than just being physically attractive.
