What’s It Like to Work in Space? I Asked 3 Engineers (SpaceX, Northrop, Startup)

I never really "got" the space industry. While my Cornell classmates were obsessed with rockets and constellations, I had only vague curiosities.

But space is undeniably hot right now. Satellite startups are raising billions, and people are curious: what's it actually like working in this industry?

During my 10-year reunion, I linked up with three satellite engineers - Anjit Fageria, McKenzie Sandberg, and Ramon Maceiras who’ve worked at SpaceX, Northrop Grumman, and exciting space startups.

They shared the real story behind their careers:
🚀 How they broke into the industry
🚀 Why they moved from big space companies to smaller teams
🚀 What they’re most excited about for the future of space

Whether you're an engineer considering a career pivot or just curious about the space industry, this conversation offers rare insider perspectives.
