SpaceX Facilities, Personnel, and Workplaces...Tour by Elon


Elon Musk's tour of the SpaceX facility in Hawthorne California.

"This year we are making more rocket engines than anywhere else in the country.

 and very accurately - and that's what all these machines are for."

including "ums"...not meant to be disrespectful.]

Tons of data to support this,but here's a starting point: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereotype_threat "
