Northrop Grumman Is Hiring People To Do Those Difficult Spacecraft Things
Based on the James Webb Space Telescope IRB report released by @NASA yesterday @NorthropGrumman needs to hire people who can: use a wrench to tighten bolts, read simple solvent use instructions, and conduct basic electrical tests. #JWST #NASA https://t.co/WLkM6FtsLd

Deliciously snarky, and they deserve it. I approve ?
These are not things that your typical knuckle dragging grease monkey can do. These spacecraft use special tools and techniques during the ACO phase. Laser wrenches, nanoparticle solvents, and quantum flux testing is not something that any geek off the street can do.
