Does he actually work for NASA? I thought he was just some youtuber with a degree in theoretical physics or something.

I am pretty sure Derek have a degree in education. Not sure about physics.

Wiki:

Muller graduated from Queen's University in Ontario, Canada, with a BSc in Engineering Physics,[4] and, after moving back to Australia, completed a PhD in physics education research from the University of Sydney in 2008 with a thesis, Designing Effective Multimedia for Physics Education.

Mark Rober is the one who worked for NASA

If you are talking about Mark, then yes he does say that in many of his videos. He worked on a probe that went to Mars.

This was on the front page yesterday and I've stupidly snobbed this video. Extremely interesting.
