Yeah... But spaceX does have to face the consequences if one of them ends up being a foreign intelligence asset. Seems like a reasonable precaution to me considering the stakes.
Besides, they have the largest applicant pool of any company in the country. It's completely reasonable to believe this is purely a consequence of meritocracy and not even a conscious choice.
- iraqmtpizza 3y agohow much secret information is SpaceX really getting from the federal government? probably near nothing

- iraqmtpizza 3y agoprobably not much more than you can tell by looking at it. there's no way to hide in space except by bringing your own cover. other than what it looks like, they know its mass, how to move it around, and how it physically separates from the launch vehicle. not particularly interesting
- krisoft 3y ago> they have the largest applicant pool of any company in the country. What do you mean by that? How would that be even possible with ITAR? > It's completely reasonable to believe this is purely a consequence of meritocracy and not even a conscious choice. How can it be “not even a conscious choice”? This is a large company. They train their HR people who they can or cannot hire. How can that training be “not even a conscious choice”?
