I'm sure you know the difference between a rocket and a shuttle, but then again I'm not so certain.

This is one of the first times I've actually seen somebody with a Political Science degree actually do something with it, rather than end up as a mid-level salesman in a faceless corporation. Good for him.
Nope, I'm totally confused. I think the only way I could be more confused is if I thought a guy without any type of rocketry design experience was actually designing rockets all by his lonesome.

Did someone say he was designing rockets all by his lonesome, or is this your version of widening the goalposts?
Again, rockets, not shuttles.
Nope, just refuting your funny claim that because he's the 'lead designer' he somehow doesn't need people to build the rockets at Space X he didn't design

Go back and re-read your first reply to me where I said he needs to hire people to do that.
Or don't. It's okay of you don't understand.

I'd hate to think you're misrepresenting me in bad faith.
Ever think about running for public office or doing something to change that?

Probably because things like that are actually said and meant on these boards all the time.
No, your inference*, which you are now squirming around in, does that for you.
*That the Mooch, being the 'lead designer', somehow didn't need to hire people to design his rockets as I clearly stated he did

Nowhere did I imply nor say that Elon Musk builds rockets by himself...

Elon Musk has an economis degree. I guess he can’t make spaceships.
originally posted by: AugustusMasonicus
He can't, which is why he pays people to do it for him.

He’s the lead designer at SpaceX.

Besides, my point is that you do not need a degree to be qualified for politics.

Political science is actually a decent degree if you want to get into analyzing policy, which is what the science advisor does. The science advisor does not do science.
