NOT EVEN CLOSE. Having been IN the "space business" since
1964 and working for the manufacturer of the Space Shuttle
Main Engine...(SNIP)

Even aerospace industries have to hire janitors, Lennie...I am
sure you were very enthusiastic in your duties.


IN aerospace industry doing specific space related work:

Electro-Optical Systems, Pasadena, CA (then a Division of Xerox,
now a Division of Loral) as spacecraft fabrication engineer.
Clean room environment, strict QC, microwelding of "cordwood"
and all soldering/inspection under 10x stereo microscopes.
Unmanned spacecraft packages included Mars Mariner 67,
Quadrupole Spectrometer, ALSEP (Apollo Lunar Surface
Experiment Pacakage) SWS (Solar Wind Spectrometer). 1960s.

Rocketdyne Division of Rockwell International, Canoga Park, CA
MTS II (Member of the Technical Staff), Instrumentation
Engineering Group, doing instrumentation design for laser
deformable mirror program (an initial part of the "Star Wars"
program under President Reagan), LOX flowmeter replacement
on the SSME (Space Shuttle Main Engine - there are three on
each Shuttle), classified work for Atomics International
(a spin-off of Rocketdyne, also owned by Rockwell then).
1980s. Boeing Aircraft Company bought Rocketdyne a few
years ago and sales are pending for Rocketdyne to be sold to
another corporation. Rocketdyne was originally a Division
of North American Aviation; Rockwell bought that with the
Division being part of the package. Shuttle was designed
and built by the main aviation group.

NO custodial services performed for any employer, any time.

I was enthused by nearly ALL projects.

So, what did Stebie do after being fired as a Purchasing
Agent of a small company after less than a half year of
employment? Go back into custodial services or continue
cleaning bed pans? :-)

Temper fry.
