Apparently, with the successful flight of a Falcon 9/Dragon to the ISS, Elon Musk and Co. have gone on a bit of a hiring binge...

There is doubt they'll even let me in the country again, let alone work there. I've used enough keywords to get me flagged  :P

The letting in is no problem, but getting out again may prove difficult. Remember the USA has a very nice airline that does deliveries, but is pretty poor at collecting and returns. You normally get a nice view of the Gulf, and a room with no view as well.

Really, Dave, if disliking George W. Bush was grounds for disqualification, most Americans would not be allowed in America...   8)

And of course, Musk himself is an immigrant from South Africa.

Funny that, I was just watching the film Another Earth last night where they where sending people on trips to,well, another Earth. Best part of the film, Brit Marling.
Thats what this is all about in the end anyway. Has to start somewhere I suppose.
