During her time as an intern, Kosak alleged, another intern "grabbed my butt while I was washing my dishes" in the company's housing.
A DAY IN SPACE ESSAY FULL
Kosak started at SpaceX as an intern in 2017, before the company hired her full time in 2019. Blue Origin has had a volatile year, ranging from the successes of launching 14 people on its New Shepard rocket to the turmoil of high employee turnover. Earlier this year Lioness published a similar essay by Alexandra Abrams, the former head of employee communications at Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin.Ībrams' essay, endorsed anonymously by 20 other current and former Blue Origin employees, alleged a "toxic" workplace that created a sexist environment. Notably, SpaceX is not alone as a space company facing internal criticism of its culture.
"There's hardly any - there are some women here - but not many, and it's remote and we do technology," Musk said in the interview. In Musk's interview with Time magazine published Monday, he described SpaceX's Starship development facility in Texas as "like a technology monastery" and said the company's workforce is male-dominated.
Female engineers regularly host the company's launch webcasts, which are viewed by millions online, while SpaceX president and COO Gwynne Shotwell has become one of the most powerful women in the space industry.
Kosak and CrowleyFarenga paint a different picture of SpaceX versus the way the company appears publicly. The company has about 10,000 employees across the United States, many of whom Kosak would have spent time around during her work at its headquarters in Los Angeles and its launch operations facilities in Cape Canaveral, Florida.
