Does this mean he can open source the schematics? I can pass it on to the open space projects.

  Where do you think he'd get the schematics from? I can't imagine they would ever leave the secure vault - declassification doesn't mean releasing to the public domain.

    Surely he has them on some thumb drive with other keepsakes in the attic or something.

      > Surely he has them on some thumb drive with other keepsakes in the attic or something. Do you really think that that's how folks (who aren't ex-Clinton officials, that is, Sandy Berger) handle classified materials? Hint - they don't take them home as keepsakes. They'd go to jail for that, or less.

      If I recall, this was in the late 60's. So. Umm. Ya. I think they were still using slide rulers.

  I'm not even sure it was wise for his dad to disclose information, even if it was on the Discovery Channel. Just because something goes public, it doesn't excuse you from your obligations. I worked on TS stuff and would see highly-classified stuff in Janes publications all the time. These days, I see a lot of (perhaps formerly) very classified stuff on Wikipedia, Google and so on. Summary: Always keep your mouth shut.
