Zitat des Tages von Gwynne Shotwell:
There was a lot of risk taken in the Mercury and Apollo eras, and we don't take those risks anymore. We've designed the systems to eliminate risk, which makes it take forever and cost too much money.
After I finished my master's degree, I moved to a company called Aerospace Corporation, a big think tank for the U.S. Air Force and the National Reconnaissance Office.
I do want to make something clear: SpaceX does have a lot of government business, but we execute in a commercial fashion.
I don't like to camp. Early on, Mars is going to be camping. I think there are people far better suited to do that than me. But when the first Holiday Inn Express shows up, maybe I'll go.
For whatever reason, college was just not a huge focus for me. I wasn't planning ahead. I just didn't think about it too much.
