It might be hard to admit out loud, but everyone on the Hope understood that compared to the experts on the mini-sized escape spaceship, the Hope’s members weren’t really qualified experts.
To put it simply, the so-called researchers, professors, experts, and scientists might know a lot, but their knowledge was specialized. For example, a university’s physics professor wouldn’t know about the basics of the latest invisible jets (at least by 21st Earth scientific standards).
The scientists that knew about high end weapon technology would spend their time in the governments’ employment. The public might not even know of their existence, much less meet them. This was the difference between public and the government’s high tech department’s scientists.
