They'd be retired by now, even the most junior engineer in 1970 would be into their seventies.

Most of them, yes, but there were some serious geezers wandering the halls before the pandemic. One of my coworkers started at NASA the same year I was born, and she doesn't show any signs of retiring any time soon. These folks don't usually end up directly in management positions, but they often hold advisory roles that give them the ear of those calling the shots.
Perhaps but their direct reports and coworkers that followed them were or are aware of their predecessors goals.
