This challenge isn’t for everyone – the working conditions can be hard on a desolate beach at the southernmost tip of the state – but hardcore projects require hardcore people. Our vehicles and launch infrastructure are pushing the limits on performance and live in some extreme environments. Ensuring that we make robust strategic decisions on the approach of our designs, and build our hardware to live in these environments, is critical to our success.
