One of the tragedies with a lot of stuff (not just Kerr County) is seemingly otherwise intelligent, educated people like Moser behaving like complete dumbfucks when they get into politics.
Moser, who was first elected to the Precinct 2 county commissioners seat in 2012, previously had a long career in the aerospace industry. He holds a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Texas, a master’s degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Pennsylvania and Ph.D. studies at Rice University. At the NASA Johnson Space Center from 1963 to 1986, he served in key management positions including as chief engineer, program manager of the Space Shuttle and Space Station. Upon returning to Texas from Washington, D.C., in 1997, he served as the executive director of the Texas Aerospace Commission, where he established Texas Spaceport Authorities.
