The real secret of SpaceX is an operating system built around Time Over Money. It is the governing law with extreme loop compression (making every development cycle radically faster). In aerospace cost = people * time compressing time by 10* automatically makes things 10-1000* cheaper. Musk's team ruthlessly deletes bureaucracy, sets impossible deadlines as forcing ... Read more
