Good job! The two are very similar to me and remind me of human progress.
In both photos, the workers are arranged in a manner that flies in the face of current Industrial Safety. The ironworker standing freely and not tied off with a safety harness, and presumably the other workers as well. That was long before modern standards. For Starship, are those people inside the booster, underneath a suspended load? Not standard practice.
You totally miss the point, don’t you?
both things monumental efforts, no doubt, but bot an excuse to ignore safety standards
I am rather sure that the SpaceX folks are guided by applicable OSHA standard. If you think otherwise then you might want to file a complaint with OSHA. As for the guys in 1931- if your time machine is working you might go back and yell at them.
The SpaceX workers aren’t inside the interstage, they’re in baskets on the end of man lifts designed for working on wind turbines. This makes them perfect for this job.
