Early workers at Elon Musk’s aeronautics company SpaceX reportedly once got stuck overnight on an ocean barge with a toxic spacecraft.
In 2010, eight years after its founding, engineers became stranded on a barge and had to sleep near a spaceship full of gas that could potentially explode, according to Ars Technica senior space editor Eric Berger. Berger, a Pulitzer Prize nominee, interviewed approximately 100 new and former SpaceX employees for his new book Reentry: SpaceX, Elon Musk, and the Reusable Rockets that Launched a Second Space Age.
