space x also wouldn't hire some random green designer to develop a solution to analyze space ship data. They will use well vetted commercial solutions. LOL this author is BSing for sure..
SpaceX didn't hire anyone. Did you read it at all? It was some guy (Blake Benthall aka "Defcon"), who previously worked at SpaceX, who allegedly hired this guy Thomas to make UI for some project of his own that he (Defcon) intended to sell to SpaceX later.
I'm not saying the whole story isn't BS, but at least it didn't claim what you assume it claimed.
I'm saying from the author's perspective, wouldn't he question why spacex need such paltry solution to visualize data from billion dollar projects? Either author is too dim to realize this obvious conflict, or he is just lying, and a poor lie at that.. Don't even say spacex. Just claim some CRUD start up instead
