Smilies Legend
[i]You could argue that the sprawling complex between Victory Boulevard and Vanowen Street qualified as a national treasure. The engines developed there powered everything from early intercontinental ballistic missiles to the Space Shuttle. And the company is still heavily involved in the nation's space exploration from its De Soto complex. Former Rocketdyne engineer Bill Vietinghoff has fond memories of those glory days. "Oh, it was a beautiful place," he said of the old complex. "A lot of people who worked there over the years were sad to see it go. A lot of the astronauts (who) came through Canoga Park, they wanted to have reassurance that the engines they were going to sit on were reliable."[/i]
