Today I learned I will not be moving to L.A. to work for SpaceX. I had a feeling the interview went south, but now it's officially confirmed. While I'm obviously disappointed, it's also a relief to know for sure. Hopefully I can re-apply sometime in the future once I ramp up learning and become an expert in the areas they're looking for. The facility itself was amazing, with the Dragon capsule hanging from the soon to be completed cafeteria ceiling, which was located on the factory floor. Watching space hardware being tested and assembled would have made for an amazing lunch break, and the people I spoke with would have been great co-workers, but the sureal atmosphere felt too good to be true. The trip was far from a waste, as I got to visit my cousin and tour the area with Lisa who had never been before. We hit all the major attractions including the observatory, chinese theatre, Beverly Hills and Fry's electronics. Of course the trip coincided with the only 3 day rainy period of the month, but I like to think that helped lessen the disappointment of not getting the job.
