There were too many going at once. I’m not sure who’s still here.
Rollcall?
SpaceX was a big stink hole transfer of tech and $
They’re in it for the money. They tend to work the employees hard and not pay as well as others.
Musk doesn’t do anything without a government subsidy.
basically huge grants of $ from Gov with tech. transfer..no real limit on keeping sensitive stuff sensitive.
A philosophy they put forth was that you were there because you loved the space rocket thing. And would sacrifice time and $ to fulfill your dreams.
I never worked for them, but heard from others.
officially they are not grants or ocntracts...they are Other.
i worked outside of them, they were buying tech.
NASA didn’t care for them because NASA liked their normal oversight and Space X would invite them only for their mandatory inspections and meetings.
That was a good way for them to keep the costs low.
SpaceX invited whoever they wanted...didn't appear to be a lid on things unless mgmt had a bug for some reason.
I couldn't figure out any rules they used with any consistency.
and they were immune for any liability.
The best thing they were able to do was bring back the cores for reuse.
All others that tried to devise recovery methods were really quite primitive.
What were the cores u refer to?
Engines & tanks.
the solid fuel cores?
👍
Space x doesn’t do solids, at least yet.
