Lockheed's inevitable answer is diversification. The company makes neither shoes nor sealing wax, but its 43 plants do build ships, satellites, research submarines and even a 220-ft. hydrofoil vessel.

We have only eight liters [about two gallons] of water and five cans of mango juice." Then the little VW stalled, and eight miles farther on the Micro Bus bogged down in the sand...
