Guy Quits SpaceX, Creates Pizza Making Robot That "Dumped Melted Cheese Everywhere" – Futurism

A pizza making robot startup called Stellar Pizza experienced a bit of a cheesy mishapwhen a prototype of the machine sprayed cheese everywhere during testing right across the street from SpaceX headquarters in Hawthorne, California.

That was appropriate, because the company is run by former SpaceX engineer Benson Tsai, who worked at the Elon Musk-led company for five years. Now hes turned his attention in a more culinary enterprise, he told Insider in a new inerview, developing a robot designed to churn out pizzas every 45 seconds.

Testing didnt always go smoothly. Three years ago, an early version of the robot dumped melted cheese everywhere, the engineer told Insider, adding that its funny, but its all part of the design process.

Overall, not much was lost, as its not exactly rocket science.

It was much cheaper than crashing a rocket to gain insight into our machine, he told the outlet,in a seeming dig at SpaceXs periodic explosions.

The machine is designed to fit on the back of a truck and has been serving pies to a number of former coworkers at SpaceX, according to Tsai.

But Musk has yet to take a bite.
