"Nevertheless, SpaceX still has over 3,000 suppliers with some 1,100 of those delivering to SpaceX nearly weekly."
I guess you have to have 15 workers working for average supplier to reach these pesky 45000 workers of OKBK.
These two companies have more or less similar structure and must have more or less similar number of workers. For US to have twice population of Russia it is quite possible to have more workers working (indirectly) with SpaceX, in my opinion.
- varjag 8y agoLet's compare apples to apples. Krhunichev has its own massive supply chain, it doesn't make everything in house as well. Spacex has 5k employees on payroll, Khrunichev 45K, a 9x difference.

- varjag 8y agoKhrunichev is a design and manufacturing facility, directly comparable to SpaceX. SpaceX also manages its own launches. The whole idea that a post-Soviet state bureaucracy is not just comparable, but somehow more nimble than a new commercial upstart is ridiculous.
