- They are indeed. Also aluminum cans - next time you see a Coke can,
- look for the same, familiar logo. I visited their plant in Boulder,
- Colorado, in 1989 summer, as part of a Solar physics summer school held
- by the National Center for Atmospheric Research/High Altitude
- Observatory. They showed us the CREES satellite, being assembled, and
- the technology for the IRAS and other micro-g liquid helium dewars,
- which they developed. I'm not sure what this has to do with applesauce
- or currants, but who knows, with big corporations?
