Ken quoted a press release
" LOCKHEED MARTIN DELIVERS GRAVITY PROBE-B DEWAR
TO STANFORD UNIVERSITY"
This of course is a reference to Professor Dewar who invented the thermos
flask. No relation :-) He was a clever chap, but annoyed people with his
extreme attention to secrecy. A little rhyme exists referring to this
Professor Dewar
Is Cleverer than You Are
None of you Asses
Can Liquify Gasses
:-)
Well, whatever other complaints people might have, I hardly think that
people can decide that my work on Ada is kept secret :-) :-)

Excerpt from actual Lockheed Martin press release...
LOCKHEED MARTIN DELIVERS GRAVITY PROBE-B DEWAR
TO STANFORD UNIVERSITY
PALO ALTO, California, November 18, 1996 -- The
Lockheed Martin Advanced Technology Center has delivered the
first major piece of Gravity Probe-B (GP-B) flight hardware
to Stanford University. The dewar, a massive thermos
bottle, and the key structural component around which the GP-
B spacecraft will be built, will house the delicate
experimental apparatus that will attempt to verify two
extraordinary and unverified predictions of Albert
Einstein's General Theory of Relativity.
