wanna know what real systems engineering is? study NASA’s projects. not your average “make a website” or “build a drone” kind of engineering. i’m talking about hundreds of subsystems; thermal, propulsion, comms, power, guidance; all integrated, timed, and tested to survive deep space. NASA engineers don’t build things, they build ecosystems of machines that cooperate perfectly. every bolt, line of code, and sensor is a node in a massive orchestra of precision. you want to understand real engineering? study how NASA designs, simulates, fails, iterates, and still launches perfection millions of miles away.
