NASA to reveal planetary mystery

Comment

The problem is one of language - there is no commonly-used word for a 'fitter' or 'mechanic' that is general enough for use by those who do not understand the job. I must take issue with the comment that the only true engineer is a graduate engineer: this could be even more selective, so that the only true engineering is a Chartered Engineer. Stop worrying about status and get on with the job of engineering!
