I really wish she got more attention.

  She gets lots of attention. She is speaker at lots of events, has been on TV many times, has received awards and is universally known by anybody who knows anything about space. The only reason people keep saying that is because Musk is basically one of the most famous people alive and thus gets absurdly more attention then here. Shotwell is much better known then pretty much every president of any other space company.

    I misspoke. I should have said credit instead of attention.

      If it makes you feel better, she's going to make many billions of dollars if SpaceX continues at anywhere near its current (orbital) trajectory. (which is worth quite a bit of credit imo)

    To be fair, most people couldn't name even one executive of a space company except Musk and Bezos. Shotwell has gotten a lot of professional recognition and is well respected by people into spaceflight, but feels like she doesn't get enough of it in more general circles, even though she makes for an amazing role model.

    Maybe not more than Tory Bruno.
