Fake as fuck, unfortunately. NASA-TN-D-7110, for example (second row, third column) is actually titled “Minimizing the area required for time constants in integrated circuits”.
Half of those are jabs at management, the other half are reasonable experiments.

I bet they just needed to do something, and they had ideas.
Cognitive load of nested acronyms looks interesting. GNU is one that bakes my noodle.
That one feels the most relatable as one who works in tech. Everything is an acronym, man, and most have no idea what the acronym stands for.
It’s acronyms referring to other acronyms… I don’t think GNU qualifies.
GNU is a recursive acronym representing GNU’s Not UNIX.
UNIX is a modified acronym representing UNiplexed Information Computing System (UNICS)
G(NU’s Not Uniplexed Information Computing System) Not Uniplexed Information Computing System
now do gtkmm
GTKMM is also GTK–
GTK is the GIMP Tool Kit
GIMP is the GNU Image Manipulation Program
GNU is GNU’s Not UNIX
UNIX is UNiplexed Information Computing System
Ergo: GTKMM stands for G(NU’s Not Uniplexed Information Computing System) Not Uniplexed Information Computing System Image Manipulation Program Toolkit Minus Minus.
What’s GNU with you?
What about Hird of Unix-Replacing Daemons referring to Hurd of Interfaces Representing Depth?
Unfortunately not real, I would have loved to read into some of them.
I’m intrigued by the wobble in a non-wobbling system. Perhaps referring to my dancing style?
I looked multiple of these up on the NASA Technical Report Server and got other results.
Edit: titles are funny, papers are real
NASA joke board. I’ve seen these type of boards all over. The best one was a board in a fiber splicing trailer.
It outlined a procedure in case you were ever lost in the woods. It involved pulling a one foot section of fiber out of your back pack and burying it. Then you just had to wait until a backhoe came through and cut it in half. You were supposed to follow the backhoe back out.
The clipboard thing is wild. You can go almost anywhere with a clipboard and a lab coat.
Make it clipboard, reflective vest, and hard hat for construction sites.
Clipboard and tracksuit for the training grounds of sportball teams.
Clipboard and ridiculously expensive tracksuit for Silicon Valley.
If you carry a ladder, they even open doors for you.
You need a laminated ID on a lanyard, too.
Have a clicky pen, and click it constantly.
Wait I need a copy of that one on unexpected wobbling in non-wobbling systems, I need to up my ksp game
Beware the Kraken.
The meetings ine is the silliest-sounding one, but maybe they mean collision of two materials or more, rather than setting a rock on the table in the board room.
thank you OP for allowing me the opportunity to read this entire image here on lemmy prior to seeing the creator’s mastodon username, so that i could believe it was real for a minute :)
(for anyone unfamiliar with it, check out her other amazing work…)
also ping and thankyou to @NanoRaptor@bitbang.social (in case mentions on lemmy notify mastodon users?)
“Preliminary analysis of unexpected wobble in a rigidly non-wobbling system” is about that time when Simone Biles got the yips 😉
Obviously fake Nerd Humor.
