Take a look at the huge modding community that KSP has and tell me that mods are cheating. In fact, they are encouraged by the developer, and the same will eventually be true in KSP2, once mod support is added.

According to IMDb and her fan sites, Pauley Perrette, who plays goth geek chick Abby Sciuto on CBS's NCIS, received a Master's degree in Criminology (with honors) from Georgia State and also studied Sociology and Psychology.
Additionally, apparently fellow NCIS cast member Sean Murray ("Probie" Timothy McGee[k]) is a real-life computer geek and David McCallum (Dr. Donald "Ducky" Mallard) is actually licensed to perform autopsies.
(Of course, take these with the usual internet disclaimers.)
