Seriously, there are no women in that entire crowd. Come to think of it they’re all white too.

Well, I suppose it’s tradition.

SpaceX is ran by a woman, Gwynne Shotwell. Musk is the CEO, but she runs the show as the COO - this is because of her.

The average percentage of women in aerospace is ~13.4%

SpaceX has 14.1% female.

NASA has 35.5% women.

Boeing has 24.1% women.

Virgin Galactic has 25% women.

Blue Origin has 20% women.

Lockheed has 32% female.

Grumman has 24.5% female.

Raytheon has 29% female.

Maybe women in aerospace just don't want to work for Musk?

Where are those numbers from? I don't doubt them but it seems a bit weird that even the lowest outlier of these big aerospace companies is still above average for the industry. I guess this is just saying that smaller companies have even more difficulty hiring/retaining female workforce.

Self reporting as part of diversity quota. Most of them have female hire goals of around 30-35%. USBLS provided the average across aerospace.

What is curious is how some gave a "female" statistic, but others said "women".
