My Dad (may he rest in peace) and I both worked at the Rocketdyne plant in Canoga Park, California, that built the Saturn V and the original Space Shuttle main engines. It was a point of pride at Rocketdyne that our engines always performed flawlessly. Rocketdyne was bought-out by General Dynamics, then Aerojet, then Boeing and the old rocket factory was torn down for a condominium complex. That’s progress for you.
I remember as a kid the F1 was tested at the Santa Susana test facility made for a loud night at times in the San Fernando valley
