I like the story about the NASA engineers who forgot how to light the fires and had to call up the guys who had retired for instruction.

where is this so story? wouldn't mind reading it.
Source Not the full story I remember, but a good lead if you really want to look for it.
Although the F-1 and J-2 engine plans still existed, over time NASA and the companies involved in the production of these rockets lost knowledge about them as people retired or forgot about how to operate them.
