Over 100k people worked on Crew Dragon Crew-2 mission from three different locations in making sure it's a success. But, here you are drinking cool-aid
- bottlepalm 4y agoI mean if you count the farmers who grew the beans that the astronauts ate then you could say 'we all' worked on Crew Dragon.

- bottlepalm 4y agoIf you count all the programmers who wrote all the libraries, platforms, operating system's that Twitter is built on, that would also be over 100k. A great example - Boeing had more money, more people and the same external support and they STILL haven't launched a vehicle yet. SpaceX has beat them by almost 4 years and counting. You'd think with '100k people' they could do it by now right?

In the article, Elon Musk's quote didn't reference "all the programmers who wrote all the libraries, platforms, operating system's that [SpaceX] is built on."
