The more distracted he is by those two, and the more Shotwell is running things, the more optimistic I am about SpaceX’s future.
I trust her, and think she’s a capable pair of hands.
- ozr 2y agoShe's 60 years old now.
- mempko 2y agoSo, more mature than Musk?
- ncallaway 2y agoWhat’s the point of this statement? Do you list the age of every person mentioned in online conversations?
- ozr 2y ago> the more Shotwell is running things, the more optimistic I am about SpaceX’s future. Her age is relevant when discussing the future of SpaceX, considering the median retirement age.
- ncallaway 2y agoSure, by future I meant immediate future, as in the next 0-5 years, not the long term 10+ year future for SpaceX.
- marcusverus 2y agoI recall that she landed some clutch contracts for SpaceX >10 years ago, but I haven't heard much about her since. What has she done that makes you think she's up to running SpaceX?
- xenadu02 2y agoShe is the one in day-to-day control at SpaceX.
- Nevermark 2y agoThe fact that SpaceX isn't missing any steps despite its continued expansion in programs, i.e. Superheavy, Starship, Starlink, space refueling, Lunar landers, in the context of Musk's significant distractions. SpaceX's path is also economically rational. No cyber space yachts. Just rapidly improving customer cadence, capability expansion, and margin bumps. Tesla, on the other hand, could really use his creativeness, practical realism and will-to-succeed focus again.
