Which would certainly help with the F-1's notorious early combustion instability.
The package Kaysing sent me seemed to suggest merely working at Rocketdyne was all the qualification he needed. He had no problem emphasizing his role as a publications and documents guy. We're trying to look at his previous jobs there and surmise what technical knowledge he had. And that's part of it, of course. But he conveyed to me the impression that working the publications department was what gave him authority to speak, since he says he saw everything that was published. When we say he wasn't a qualified engineer, that's actually something of a straw man. He didn't seem to predicate the majority of his argument on any claim to be one.
What we don't see, but would hope to see, from such a person is the smoking gun. If it really was a hoax, and Kaysing was in a position to know it, we'd expect smuggled-out documents or sincere attestations to the existence of documents that actually talk about a hoax. Mostly he talks about problems with the F-1, which were common knowledge, and alleged anomalies with the LM descent engine, which Rocketdyne didn't make. (Rocketdyne made components of the ascent engine, but not until after Kaysing had left.) And, of course, he talks about things that have nothing to do with Rocketdyne, such as the expectation of seeing "trillions" of stars.
Granted the conspiracy theory was in its infancy when Kaysing wrote. So he probably didn't think he had to lay much foundation for the story. Of course the real fun part is where we find evidence he made up the whole hoax story to try to embarrass the U.S. government over its treatment of veterans from the Vietnam war. He roundaboutedly admitted to this during a radio interview.
