- krasin 9y agoThis is not exactly correct. They can also hire permanent residents (aka green card holders).
- goodcanadian 9y agoAnd it is possible to get waivers for particular individuals. However, because of the process involved, it is unlikely to be pursued by someone like SpaceX except in very exceptional cases of getting known international experts.
- krasin 9y agoI have quite a few friends with a green card working for SpaceX. So, it's definitely not an issue for them.
- goodcanadian 9y agoI wasn't talking about green cards. I was talking about "non-US" persons. In other words, I was adding additional information to your comment, not contradicting it in any manner.
- krasin 9y agoApologies, I misunderstood it. You're right.
- hughes 9y agoOr at least, it is often prohibitively difficult to do so.
- jacquesm 9y agoThat Werner Von Braun dude got so lucky.
- lutorm 9y agoHe had an ITAR waiver...
