Occupy Mars
I went on a tour of the SpaceX facility in Southern California as part of a work-related exercise.
Some of us were expecting to get a walk and talk through the various sit-and-work areas. Instead, we ended up inside a James Bond film. We got to peak behind the looking glass where the rockets and rocket engines are built. While we couldn't see most of the 1,000 ksf facility because it was "too dangerous" we did get to stand next to a couple of work areas where we were jokingly told what would happen if something went even slightly wrong.
The team at SpaceX is a diverse workforce consisting of people who clearly understand that they're doing work of global and, perhaps, historic significance. And they get to wear shorts and t-shirts while doing it.
The facility wasn't perfect, though; they serve Pepsi, not Coca Cola. As for the parking....
