The week's question

The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Worker Dies in SpaceX Incident

The Browsnville Fire Department got the call to Starbase at 4:17 a.m. Friday, according to Chief Jarrett Sheldon, but they were waived off seven minutes later after being advised SpaceX’s emergency medical services were handling the situation.

OSHA cited and fined SpaceX 17 times since 2021 for workplace safety violations at Starbase and McGregor in Texas as well as its sites in Washington and California.

SpaceX is also facing personal injury lawsuits stemming from safety violations.


Don't know if the injury rate is out of the ordinary for such a large construction. After reading Isaacson's biography of Musk I can see how safety might not be priority one at these facilities.
