I only POP my mail from Gmail -- and read all my mail in text-only mode, except for those occasional ones that only use HTML (frelling sigh). I only actually log into Gmail to empty the trash, and permanently everything, as POP only seems to move downloaded mail there (again, sigh). For me, email contains static information and 99.9% of my email gets read and deleted, I don't need or want to have to go back to review possibly updated dynamic content -- give me a link for any of that and I'll review it in my browser.
The article mentions possible desirable uses for this (below) but in general I give this a *BIG* No Thank You.

Those two boosters, which were used in previous launches of SpaceX's workhorse Falcon 9 rocket, will not be reused again, Musk said in a post-launch news conference last week.
Then why spend fuel and other resources on landing them?
It's possible some of the parts can be refurbished and reused, even if the entire booster won't be. Also, having them all in one piece allows everything to be studied for wear and possible failure points and help refine future boosters.
Musk is quoted as saying, "The fix was pretty obvious."
Too bad the problem wasn't and they lost the booster. That's, what, a $30M mistake?
I'll add that I watched the launch online and it was great. Watching the two side boosters land simultaneously was amazing. I actually got a little choked-up.

Professor Hubert Farnsworth: And this is my Universal Translator. Unfortunately, so far it only translates into an incomprehensible dead language. Cubert J. Farnsworth: [into the translator's microphone] Hello. Translator Machine: Bonjour! Professor Hubert Farnsworth: Crazy gibberish!
The story does not read as the headline indicates.
It's "mulling" and reportedly (a) only the Trump team is considering this and (b) *everyone* else in the world -- including Ted Cruz -- thinks it's a monumentally dumb idea. From the original Washington Post article:
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) said he hoped recent reports of NASA’s decision to end funding of the station “prove as unfounded as Bigfoot.” He said the decision was the result of “numskulls” at the Office of Management and Budget. “As a fiscal conservative, you know one of the dumbest things you can to is cancel programs after billions in investment when there is still serious usable life ahead,” he said.
Boeing, which has been involved with the station since 1995, operates the station for NASA, which costs the agency $3 billion to $4 billion annually.
So far there are *no* private companies that want the expense and responsibility of maintaining the ISS -- especially as there is no business plan for something like this.
That's not how hiring works.
You try to evaluate whether they'd be a good fit for the role you're hiring for, not whether they're as good as you at irrelevant stuff.
Sure, when you know *exactly* what you need now and going forward and don't care about anything else. But "the best" isn't necessarily about a specific skill set but general ability. For example, in 2001 I interviewed with a large defense contractor to do some hard-core Java work. I didn't know Java and one of the several programmers interviewing me recommended against hiring me because of that. However, I had worked with the project manager at another company, doing programming in C, Perl, Ksh, Tcl/Tk (and other languages) and sysadmin work (on just about every kind of Unix system) and she knew my abilities -- especially problem solving -- and said "he'll learn Java in a week" and hired me anyway. Java was pretty easy to pick up. A while later the programmer who recommended against hiring me told me he was happy the manager didn't listen to him. I worked there until 2017 -- doing programming projects in Java, C, x86 Assembly, Perl, Ksh, CMD, VBScript, Javascript (and others) on Windows, Solaris and Linux systems as well as sysadmin work on those systems. I also automated many manual development and delivery processes making everyone's life easier and some deliveries faster and more consistent. (I hate doing things over and over again.)
I get your point, but it's only one of many to consider for a good hire.
Every time I hear a professor, boss, etc. start talking "team assignment," I know its just a polite way of having the strong students/employees carry the weak ones. Instead of some people getting A's and some getting F's, everyone gets a C. Kurt Vonnegut would be proud.
Anecdotal, but I will note that the team project in my systems programming class (in 1985) to write a linking loader was made easier by the fact that I knew C very well and the retired Navy guy, who wasn't as strong a programmer, could do octal and hex math in his head. (We both got A's.)
I think the premise is that anyone 12-21 would be savvy enough to bypass it.
Or fail to allow access when it should. Either way, won't know unless it's been tested.
(Perhaps they did test that group and it lowered their "accuracy" stats so they omitted the results./cynical)

I don't know if you'd be as happy being paired with a major in psychology for your linking loader assignment.
Unless the components didn't feel like being linked and/or loaded or had other personal issues to work through. :-)

What you'll find is failure stories where a non-diverse team failed to notice something blindingly obvious.
