This is slightly concerning. Satellites don’t tend to explode on their own, but it is a Boeing design with a history of leaky propulsion, so who knows?
From the linked article:
The 2022 injury rate at the company’s manufacturing-and-launch facility near Brownsville, Texas, was 4.8 injuries or illnesses per 100 workers – six times higher than the space-industry average of 0.8.
No mention of other industries, but a quick search shows that the injury rate is 2.4 in construction and 3.2 in manufacturing. However, it’s important to note that all industries underreport injuries, especially SpaceX, as OP’s article discusses.
Also, I think it’s interesting to note that Texas, where SpaceX are moving most of their operations, has the most worker deaths of any state.
Such a shame, I was really looking forward to this based on the teasers shared on the game’s Discord server. I guess it’s just like big publishers to put more effort into marketing than development.
One of the things I thought was neat when I visited Japan was that some places would give you change back in a dedicated little tray with rubber “fingers” that made the coins easier to pick up, so you didn’t struggle to pick them off a flat counter.
