The term "golden age" is a way of looking at the history of a thing, then picking the sweet spot.
Having said that, the golden age of NASA was probably about 1967 to 197x? Just before and after we walked on the moon.
How can I define this range? Because that's when even the lowliest NASA geek had status second to none, except for the astronauts; And status will get you laid.
The slippery slope is "does the same job"; does this mean "is assigned the same position": or "performs same job with equal perfomance" I think for example having USA telephone customer support trunked to India is an example of confusion in this area.
I had worker-bee programmer friend (geez, way back in 1986) who had the deadly combination Karate-hard fingers and a real hatred of comuter keyboards. Sixty days was about the longest they lasted with him; I remember more than once seeing a key launch across the office out of the corner of my eye.
for different reasons. Basically I've been a contractor for 15+ years. Sometimes their are gaps in time. Before the market bust, employers use to be concerned maybe you were in prison !! Now a days, one year or more of unemployment just gets a nod from the interviewer. I'm glad my wife is workin'. Unemployed since Nov '03.
with 1) non-spoke wheels (mag wheels?) 2) replace air in tires with silicon, like dope smuglers do. 3) a coaster brake 4) put many stickers all over (like "hello kitty" and "Barbie" ) 5) then lock your $25 bike with a $100 lock

Put on a little velcro and attach it to one of these. Then, when you roam out of range, just call it back in.
Dear Sukh Das,
How's the weather up there? Cold I bet. Next time you are down for a visit stop by for a Coca-Cola and some cow watching.
I'll take this a step further [as an avid viewer of these television channels]. As the British say, you need to "sex it up a bit".
I suggest adding a tan, leggy co-ed to your cast.
