That's awesome! I work with many of the nations top rocket scientists and they all drive old school Lexus and Toyotas. That's the way they roll, I guess. More important things for them to worry about. And they all claim nice cars are too expensive... every one of them!

Formerly known as Thiokol. Now we are ATK Launch Systems.

We make the solid rocket boosters (known as RSRMs (Re-designed Solid Rocket Motors or SRBs (Solid Rocket Boosters)) for the space shuttle as well as the Minuteman, Peacekeeper and D5 nuclear ICBMs.
