… Arthur Rudolph co-creator of the Saturn V (that we evidently can no longer build) was connected to a company called Solar Power Company in San Diego, CA. From the Solar Company site … “Solar went to the moon! The company’s research department crafted exotic metal beryllium cases for the GE 26 System for Nuclear Auxiliary Power 70W electric generators. Five of these cases were placed on the moon by Apollo 12.”
So … Nuclear Power and “Exotic Metals” on the Moon in 1969.
They are ostensibly no longer involved in aircraft manufacture.
Just an interesting tidbit.
“In an interesting side note, Rudolph’s case resurfaced in 2014 when it was revealed that he and other former Nazis who had worked in the U.S., only to be deported or otherwise forced out, had been receiving Social Security payments for decades afterward.”
