HaloNoble6 Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 (edited) This article's almost a year old, but still worthy of discussion. Two former classmates (one a serious O'ist and good friend of mine) and a former TA of mine work there. I've visited the plant, and it's a wonderful place to work. Merit is awarded, and there are no sacred cows, unlike the situations at the mega-aerospace companies: Boeing, Lockheed, Northrop. They've struggled long and hard on their first launch, I don't know what their current status is. Nevertheless, this is a company worth keeping an eye on.

D'kian Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 They've struggled long and hard on their first launch, I don't know what their current status is. Nevertheless, this is a company worth keeping an eye on. The last I heard, the maiden launch of Falcon 1 is scheduled for Decembre 19th.
