> The 2023 records, newly disclosed by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, also show that injury rates at some SpaceX facilities grew worse than those the company had reported in 2022. At its manufacturing-and-launch facility in Brownsville, Texas, for instance, SpaceX reported 5.9 injuries per 100 workers, surpassing its rate of 4.8 injuries in 2022 and topping a space industry average of 0.8. Not that I think Elan gives a crap about his employees...but could we see some "injuries per orbital launch" numbers? Because if SpaceX padded its headcount with enough couch-surfers and do-nothings to hit the same "workers per annual launch" metrics as their competition, then SpaceX might easily be (statistically) the safest space industry company to work for, by 10X or more.
