The picture on the left, showing four rather geeky young men in snazzy sweaters at the 1997 Polish National Maths Olympiad, became one of the biggest memes on the Polish internet a decade or so ago.
Now it turns out that one of the guys is an engineer at SpaceX who created the software for the Falcon Heavy launch.

Costs about $1Mil each; which is pretty amazing for a heavy lifter.

SpaceX gets U.S. regulator to back satellite internet plan
Elon Musk’s SpaceX, fresh off the successful launch this month of the world’s most powerful rocket, won an endorsement on Wednesday from the top U.S. communications regulator to build a broadband network using satellites.
Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai proposed the approval of an application by SpaceX to provide broadband services using satellites in the United States and worldwide.

This is a tooling piece for the upcoming BFR - this is what they spool and set the carbon fibre around, so is indicative of the rocket's eventual diameter.
Apparently it works like this, which is an equivalent tool for the Boeing DreamLiner
