Thanks - very interesting.
When I was a kid I wanted to be Kelly Johnson when I grew up. (I did manage to do research for NASA, but never made it even close to KJ's level.)
Surprised the article didn't mention the source of the name until the very end, and even then didn't mention Hairless Joe and Lonesome Polecat - operators of the original Skonk Works. (Or Kickapoo Joy Juice)
