Gwynne Shotwell needs far far more recognition regarding the success of SpaceX. Musk could do the song and dance and get the attention but without her they'd just be making really expensive tubes.
I don't know how much she was involved in ruthlessly squeezing every once of brilliance from the engineering team, and there's the whole Ukraine drone thing, but it wasn't musk that landed those rockets.
I'm well aware and that's why I have the opinion I stated above, the engineers at these companies are working on incredible things. These engineers are the modern day equivalent of magicians, it's magical and humanity should be cheering them on.
Oh yeah i understood ya, i was backing up what you were saying and kinda just wanted to give Shotwell a shout-out for anyone that doesn't know about her role there. :)
