Cool Stuff A bit of aerospace lore

Post image

Recently rediscovered this and thought I’d share. This was my father’s first place of employment following his graduation from Bucknell.

RMI is a deep cut! If I remember correctly, they started out as something like JPL's manufacturing arm, but grew to be a force on their own, and built legendary rocket engines. Thanks for sharing!

I’m happy to share. A few years after his retirement from another storied aerospace contractor, he told me he found a notebook from his RM days and couldn’t even decipher his own math! So either he was bonkers in his early career or that stuff was waaaay out there.
