Burt Rutan wants YOU;
I'd heard that Scaled Composites had been on a hiring tear, but 150 people and he still wants to double the size of the company? 
Wanted: spaceship builders
Rutan told SPACE.com that he needs to double the size of Scaled Composites—now some 150 people—to be able to properly handle a roster of projects, including his commercial spaceliner activity.
"We have a lot of openings for people...not just engineers, but people that can help us build research spaceships and production spaceships," Rutan explained.
Rutan said that his company is soon to start aggressively looking for enthusiastic young people that want to learn how to build spaceships, canvassing the colleges for students that have "fire in their eyes."
