November 17, 1961 – Inside a General Dynamics plant in San Diego where gloriously shiny Atlas rockets were made.

  1. I used to work there. My offices were up 3 floors above what you see, the second floor put in by GD or LockMart and the 3rd by the navy. I used to style myself as "one who worked above rocket scientists." They were still buildling fuel tanks using the old jigs when I worked there. There were 3 of these buildings, this was the last still building space tech for real and they were death about keeping the damned doors closed since bird poop in a rocket is bad for the rocket and may be OK for a satellite radio repair depot (other 2 buildings).
