The alien hypothesis?

Although as we all know Pynchon worked for Boeing and later came to
express sentiments about rockets etc. that could be claimed as ones a
hippy would feel comfortable with. What were his feelings about his
employer at that time? This seems still open to speculation.

Whether or not the Bomb should have been made or, once made, dropped 
upon Japan
is of course a vast subject with no clear resolution.  Nevertheless, it
is a
considerable part of why, as Gleick says, "physicists did not make
natural
hippies."
