"It Really Is Rocket Science!" is the story of all things aero at Sandia National Labs which began in the 1940s with a vision and a passion that would eventually become a world renowned aerospace capability for the United States of America. This historical documentary is dedicated to the men and women of Sandia who inspired a nation, left a lasting legacy and pioneered the field of aeroballistics.
Doorknob mentioned at 9:55. Also mentioned, the Strypi to replace the unreliable Thors used in high altitude nuclear tests.
Mentioned starting at 23:12, Project SWERVE (Sandia Winged Energetic Reentry Vehicle Experiment), a Maneuvering Reentry Vehicle (MARV) test program in the 70s and 80s. Strypi rollouts and launches seen at various points afterwards.
