Originally posted by LynahFan View PostSpaceX is the worst (big) company I have come across for work-life balance. Startups are a whole different ballgame. When we moved to Florida, my wife was looking for a job and came across a posting for a position working launches at the cape. Right on the job description, it said to expect 60-hour weeks, minimum. And yet, SpaceX routinely shows up as #1, by far, in lists of companies that STEM undergrads say they want to work for. Most burn out long before they spawn - they never even have a chance to meet someone.
Musk treats his human capital as far more disposable than his rockets.It's never too early to start the Pre-game festivities

I know its nothing special, but the audio of the wind noise into the microphone that they released was amazing to hear. It's the first audio on the surface of another planet!!! My inner geek is screaming! This mission has been amazing, and they're only four sol's into the mission.“Demolish the bridges behind you… then there is no choice but to build again.”

Only tangentially related to space, but highly related to nerds:

I thought I heard that they used really good commercial cameras for that work. Which would mean space spec GoPros. Or something like that. That's one of the best parts about modern launches is seeing the very clear cameras that are all over the rockets. Seeing this landing like that is... well.. hard to describe how cool that is.

All of this advancement does help all of us on a commercial basis.
Let alone the solar, and power storage, etc.
