"How the hell is anything that is US/Russia aerospace research oriented still worth classifying 50 years after the fact?"
You never know, such as demonstrated in the FOIA denial of information as follows:
James Madison Project v. NARA, No. 98-2737 (D.D.C. Mar. 5, 2002) (appeal pending) -- protecting eighty-five-year-old records pertaining to the "composition and detection of 'secret inks' including German secret ink that may have been used during World War I"; giving deference to CIA classification authority's determination that some of the intelligence "methods described . . . are still used by the CIA, . . . that third parties inimical to the interest of the United States may not know which of the formulas are still considered reliable by the CIA and approved for use by its agents," and that "some of the formulas included in these documents serve as building blocks of future covert communications methods."
I know it seems dumb, but these agencies actually take this crap seriously.
