The correlation is if you spend months or years working on something that has no value or that immediately ceases to exist, then your job is BS.

- foobarrio 9y agoDoesn't that mean you were providing a service instead of creating a product?
- carleverett 9y agoSo does that mean the scientists and astronauts that worked on Space Shuttle Challenger had a BS job?
- ForHackernews 9y agoArguably the entire shuttle program was BS. It was a huge white elephant for NASA: prodigiously expensive, saddled with impractical requirements by the Air Force, and producing negligible new scientific results compared to the unmanned probes.
- AstralStorm 9y agoOh really. The whole point is to figure out ways of inhabiting outer space. The " negligible" results gave such silly things like advanced radiation shielding, thermal clothing, advanced air filtering, developments in radioisotope generators and solar panels, material science, even project planning (though saddled with bureaucracy). What it did not improve is the cost of space travel.
