Apollo and our own.
There were lots of people associated with Draper Flight facility (they wrote the software for the Apollo 11 navigation system) who were also involved with MIT Soaring Association in the 60s. Most eminent was Doc Draper himself who oversaw the Draper lab and was a founder of MITSA.

Telegram from Neil Armstrong to the 1969 US Soaring Nationals: "Please convey my best wishes to all my friends at Marfa. Good lift and good fortune to all the competitors. I wish I could join you. There is only one thing I would rather be doing; fortunately, I am. Best Wishes"
