Ignore the launch statistics. Only one thing matters: SpaceX is hiring the top grads of the top aerospace engineering schools, and no one else even comes close. There's a Michigan professor who said every year he keeps track of his top "rock star" students to see where they end up, and the last couple of years almost all of them have gone to work at SpaceX. We're talking the top 1% of aerospace engineers of the top schools for aerospace: MIT, Caltech, Stanford, Purdue, Michigan, etc. etc. Elon is getting them all. That is why he will succeed, and you can take it to the bank.
