I had a coach and mentor at Boeing, a retired NASA guy, like one of the first couple hundred guys at NAcA then NASA - a sharp dude five or six basic rocket patents - by basic I mean like foundation stuff that got us to orbit, then the moon, then home ( alive )... he always remarked about my career “ Jim you got a lucky horseshoe up your ass, eventually you will get there !”
on thinking about it, I always preferred “ blessed “... ha
