#SpaceX is really being run mainly by its COO, Gwynne Shotwell.

You should read about her a bit -- she's a pretty impressive human.

I knew engineers at her previous company, Microcosm, which pioneered some challenging tech, but which was, like most independent space companies, severely under-capitalized.

What Musk mainly brought was The Money. And that has always been a major issue in this business.
