Nick and Beth talk space specifics in this episode, including:
- Nick’s fascinating job working on composite structures- inner stage and the fearing (nose cone) and payload attachment structures
- How quality control plays such a major part of the rocket creation process, and how much is hand made!
- Nick’s interpretations on the culture of SpaceX, and how new ideas are tested & encouraged
Key Takeaways:
- SpaceX works to make us become a multi-planet species, so ideas, rockets and most things need to be big.
- The process of developing with engineers and technicians at SpaceX has allowed anyone with the experience to take the instructions & implement them... you don’t necessarily have to be the most accredited
- What’s next for SpaceX and Nick’s future?!
“We want to make a giant rocket that will get us to Mars, and become a multi-planet species.” SpaceX Engineer Nick Hansen
