It's easy to count hours worked, so it's not countless. It's also not a positive. Did space shuttle workers work unlimited hours?



Dev here. Stop taking such a literal interpretation. Unless you're being purposefully dense, it's obvious that it's meant to be a figurative statistic to represent the hard work that's gone into building SpaceX. Many workers who I know work their asses off there.


Right, but I would have preferred an attempt to estimate the stat. Isn't that what this page is all about?


Number of employees over time * number of workdays they made * 8 would be a reasonable estimate.
