Refresh bug with profiles on opensats.org/about about website HOT 4 CLOSED

Damn. I was able to reproduce this in production.

@moteanup24 maybe you can have a look at this and try to track down the bug?

Not sure if it's related, but I noticed the order of icons changes whenever you refresh the page. If this behavior is not intentional, it could be related.

Update: I'm pretty sure the bug is occurring because the randomization in getStaticProps() in pages/about/index.tsx is not being propagated down through to the MDXComponents. You'll notice that the randomization is repeated in components/BoardMembers as well as ./OpsTeam and ./Volunteers. So I think multiple Math.random() calls is causing the issue.

I think what we want is to create a randomized 'master' author array as a static prop in index.tsx, and pass it through MDXLayoutRenderer to the MDXComponents so that when the {openSats} content renders, it does so with the static randomized author array. Unfortunately I haven't been able to figure out how to pass the static props through to MDX components...

Unless I'm missing a quick way to do this (I am still getting familiar with MDX) I'd be inclined to just do away with the randomization on the about page. I also tried rewriting the about/index page using more vanilla jsx which seems to allow for more straightforward passing of props, which is do-able but then would require more manual formatting.

This is probably entirely too long for your taste but I wanted to provide an update and give you a chance to weigh in.
