That's a fun read. Also the first time I've heard of the company Aerojet Rocketdyne. Did they come up with that one while playing beer pong?

Smarter Every Day gave a talk directly to NASA that raises some of the same issues. It's a good one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OoJsPvmFixU

Those are very old aerospace companies. They predate NASA. Aerojet was von Kármán's rocket company, founded in 1936. Rocketdyne was founded in 1955. Both are now owned by L3Harris.
