Did someone say Rocket Scientists? Despite what we may have thought, rocket scientists aka aerospace engineers scored no more than the general population in a study led by researchers at universities and hospitals in London and Bristol. They were given the Great British Intelligence Test which looked at areas of cognition like planning and reasoning, working memory, attention and emotional processing. Who took the test? 300 Aerospace engineers, 12 neurosurgeons and 18,251 members of the British public. According to the report by Rebecca Sohn I read on space.com there were differences between the groups, but they were hard to interpret - but, bottomline, it seems any of us could turn our hands to rocket science, if we were so inclined.
But what about those who do become rocket scientists? What do they do next? Well, if you've been working with SpaceX, you might turn your hand to Pizzas. Three former SpaceX engineers have set up Stellar Pizza, billed as a robot restaurant which will be able to churn out a pizza every 45 seconds! Benson Tsai, CEO of Stellar Pizza, worked at Elon Musk's SpaceX before rounding up 23 former SpaceX employees to build an automated, touchless pizza-making machine which can fit in the back of a truck. It takes about five minutes for the pizza to be produced from start to finish ... and while the article I read in Business Insider said while Stellar Pizza offers a pepperoni or supreme pizza, customers can build their own with toppings including onions, bacon, chicken and olives.
