That is a great story!
Yes, it's pretty neat. Pretty sure it was the LEM 3 and 5. He was also involved with the f14.

That's super cool - F14 is a nice touch too. We were involved with the F117 and designed one of the fuel control systems for high g maneuvers so that the engines didn't get starved for fuel. Working on US civilian/military projects is always very neat.

I make complicated numbers pretty and easy to read, then try to predict the future with them.

Yes. Very cool man indeed. One time the FBI came knocking on our door.... That was a trip. I'm sure there's lots I'm not aware of.
