I worked at Rocketdyne in the late 2000's (not a rocket scientist, just a junior Unix tech). Even then the company was just a shell of its former glory. But there was a certain pride in the air and a ton of rich history all over the place. I loved when I had to go fix workstations at the Canoga Park facility and would get lost on purpose just to check it out. It was a pretty dreadful place to work overall, though.
