One of the most often repeated ADM Rickover stories goes like this: Rickover was visiting the Idaho Falls Prototype, and a couple of enterprising students called his hotel room just before dawn and said, "Request permission to light off the sun, Admiral!" To which Rickover replied, "What is the lube oil temperature?" The students gave the correct answer for the minimum lube oil temperature for the main turbines, and Rickover said: "Permission granted, light off the sun!"
