My grandfather worked for Martin-Marietta back in the day. He was involved in telemetry stuff on Apollo 11. He had a picture on his 'pool table/radio room' of him and Neil Armstrong . Also had a trophy where he and Sam Snead won a pro-am golf tournament. I thought he was kind of a stud.. He was an asshole, but still kind of studly..
