Rocketdyne

What's his name? Well, anyway, he, he does those, uh, investment commercials, that guy.

Anyway, they basically, they, uh, they faked a, a Mars landing, right? And it's about how they did it, and then they, like, uh, the, the astronauts break free, and they're gonna tell the truth, and NASA hunts them down, right? Well, what's interesting about that is that the original book that it was based on was written by the head of technical publications for Rocketdyne, the guys who built the, uh, Rocketdyne built, they built the capsule, the Apollo capsule.

And, um, the guy who was head of technical publications for that company wrote the book, you know, that was, um, that, uh, Capricorn One was based on.

And originally in the book, it wasn't about going to Mars, it was about how they landed.

That was kind of around the arena of, you know, things were just in their steady state.

So like, you know, they had a mission to do it and there wasn't really any new development that Rocketdyne was doing.

At least, you know, they had their team that was already, you know, working on more, maybe more advanced teams of the SSME space shuttle main engine.

So you got the bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering from Carnegie Mellon.

I couldn't hire-- When, when we first started, there was, like, four of us, and I couldn't-- All, all the people I worked with at TRW, all of them, like, rolled their eyes and would not come work with me.

All the Rocketdyne guys.

Rocketdyne did all the engines that got us to the moon back, you know, back in the '60s.

Uh, none of them.

They-- Like, only governments and big money-
