> they’re clearly not the kind of company that takes people on factory tours to proudly show off how they make and run things<p>??? SpaceX is certainly the most open space corp out there, by a mile. I mean they're still a private for profit company that has to follow ITAR rules, but compared to their competition, they're extremely open. Anyone following Starship development can see that. Just the fact that they even gave a tour (twice!) to the Everyday Astronaut, with Raptor closeups and everything... Imagine Blue Origin or Boeing doing something like that. Yea, right.
