I also don't think most people are complaining about his age, as much as his appointment without qualifications in writing policy, and just in general the fact that regulations are being rewritten by someone whose only qualification is the ability to use an AI program. The Apollo engineers went to school for engineering, and were hired because they were good at the jobs they were being asked to do.
I agree that getting 3 guys to the moon seems much harder than running a nation into the ground. That said, isn't that a reason that you'd want younger people in DOGE than in the Apollo program?
All you have to do to run a nation into the ground is blow everything up. It's not a terribly complicated task. The DOGE employees being younger wouldn't seem, to me, to meaningfully restrict their ability to screw up everything. Point of fact is, if you want to run a nation into the ground, being younger could actually be viewed as a qualification. I wouldn't think you'd want people who understand too well what they're doing.
