As always SpaceX and it's mission is just _cool_ (in a geek sense). However, to be honest, Python + rocket code in the same sentence perturbs me somewhat. Python is great for web automation tools and simple scripting situations, but for the love of humanity (seriously, because space travel & exploration), I shudder at the idea of Python being used in a complex rocket control system.

Python has had for a very long time both NASA and JPL as marquee customers/users, eg. http://montepy.jpl.nasa.gov/ for mission planning and control applications.

From the MONTE brochure:

The story of MONTE begins in 1998, when JPL’s navigation section commissioned an update to the aging DPTRAJ/ODP library. The goal was to translate these time-tested navigation algorithms from Fortran into a more maintainable, extensible, and better tested C++/Python application.

Python is very popular for doing mathematical modelling in every domain you could possibly imagine. Even when the core algorithm isn't done in python, python is great for pre-,and post-processing the results, analysis and gluing everything together.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

And a third me too. I'm not sure if it is resume farming but I didn't appreciate that I didn't at least get a "no thank you" email. This isn't unique to them but it does make me hesitant in ever applying there again or even recommending the place as an employer or vendor.

welp, was about to apply but this string of comments just changed my mind.

Thanks for the comments people, I'll pass it on to our HR :)
