    <strong>The gig:</strong> Gwynne Shotwell, 49, is president and chief operating officer of SpaceX, the Hawthorne company that builds rockets and space capsules to resupply the International Space Station for NASA.

Yet even in such environs, Robert Choeff and Krystyan Keck's home on Cabrillo Avenue stands out. "We definitely have more than our share of gawkers," Keck says.
