    You’d think making a big clamp is easier than making a rocket…

      They’re rocket scientists, not clamp scientists.

        It’d be easier to train clamp scientists to static fire than to train rocket scientists to clamp.

            We can pretty much assume whatever needs clamping’s less than 28” thick.

      There’s a reason management courses all insist that you focus on your core competency.
