   Investor Tour Guide: "…and here you can see one of our expendable USC interns connecting a pressurized hydrazine fuel line into the injector assembly. Ha ha, don’t worry – we’re safe behind this blast-proof Lexan, plate, just in case he makes a mistake and dissolves himself."

   Seriously – that’s one cool-assed assembly room. It makes me feel that it’s time to clean up our rocket assembly workspace. I think many of us would give a body part to work at SpaceX.

   It looks like a semi-clean room – No booties and haircovers, etc.

   must not be that hazardous assembly process, since they aren’t even wearing safety glasses.

   yep, semi clean. class 100,000?

   I should think that the barrier is helpful for keeping well-meaning visitor fingers off the parts, as much as anything else.
