I love Shotwell, but there are a number of people who could do a fair job to run rocket operations. Its not like other rocket companies have major issues with running operations. The part that no other company can do is the part that Elon does, and that is ultimately why the operation side is so successful.

Yeah, I don't see Dave Calhoun, Tory Bruno, or Peter Ruddock sleeping on the factory floor. That said, they don't need to. I'd want to work for Elon in my 20s. I'm not sure I'd want Elon to be my CEO one year before my pension vests.

"Its not like other rocket companies have major issues with running operations."

I think in light of the issues with SLS, you might want to reconsider this in terms of Boeing.

Boeing doesn't have rocket operations right now. They are building a rocket as a NASA contractor. NASA runs the operations and NASA made the design of SLS.
