From the article:
> The 2022 injury rate at the company’s manufacturing-and-launch facility near Brownsville, Texas, was 4.8 injuries or illnesses per 100 workers – six times higher than the space-industry average of 0.8.
So it doesn’t seem good…
- nickik 3y agoSpace industry average is an utterly useless and idiotic thing used for comparison. Most of those companies make tiny sats, or things like small thrusters. Or even small sub-components. And even those that build larger things, build them at far smaller rates. SpaceX in Brownsville should be compared to things like manufacturing oil platforms or maybe wind power plants.
- inemesitaffia 3y agoIt's not hard to find that SpaceX has an average injury rate
- Robotbeat 3y agoDoesnt the space industry average include mostly office work? Hardly seems fair to compare actual physical construction and ops work at a developmental test site to desk jobs.
