SpaceX engineers have ditched Elon Musk in pursuit of a much more important mission for mankind: lots of tasty pizza.Their new LA-based company, Stellar Pizza, plans to build an army of pizza robots capable of baking tasty pies in 45 seconds.They want to load these robots onto a fleet of trucks and send them out around California, where they'll dispense hot molten slices for a fiver a pop.

He said: "I was really impressed, and kind of shocked that a couple of rocket engineers could do so well for themselves even before I got brought in."The robots act just like human pizzaiolos.

Using a robotic arm, they grab balls of dough, slap it into a 12-inch circle, and then dump a load of sauce, cheese, and toppings before slinging it into a mega-hot pizza oven.The pizza is tracked by smart cameras and sensors which can ensure nothing goes amiss while they're baking.Customers will be able to order a pizza using the company's app and, within a couple of minutes, tuck into their favourite slice.

No more waiting around for 40 minutes, but there's something to be said for the love and craft that goes into a genuine human-made Italian pizza.The rocket engineers have founded the company as SpaceX faces continued criticism for its working practices.
