..........Space-X today.
Just for the hell of it, I went out to LC-40 and talked to a friend about their program for a bit. I invited him over to "the dark side" [NASA] to have lunch at Headquarters and he accepted. We had a very animated conversation about their rocket program which ended up with him asking me if I was interested in applying for an engineering job at Space-X. Naturally, I said I would. We went back to their office and I filled out five pages of paperwork, gave them my OPM security background investigation stuff and made copies of all of my clearance badges and so forth. Now, I guess it's wait and see.
These guys have their pick of the litter when it comes to new hires, so I don't hold out a lot of hope that this goes anywhere, but it's worth a shot. If hired, I would probably be the oldest guy there.
