Engineering with a big E
There remains a big gap between the marvelous SpaceX engineering and the home networking technologies we have to deal with. See my previous two posts.
SpaceX created a rocket which landed back on earth, a new people mover, a recovery boat, and entire mission control center. The level of detail is amazing. If you were watching the splashdown broadcast, you must have seen the person installing a rubber into the hatch cavity, so nobody would snag on the metal.
What’s the difference? The mindset (and in this case, also the stakes). But mostly the mindset to do the right thing, build the right thing, train the people and provide the right support.
