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.
