I’ll assume you’re tossing that out tongue-in-cheek, but I’ll toss out the real meaning around it. I was still at GM when the Small Block Engine team unveiled the 5.5L internally as part of the C8 team celebration.
Short answer…Astronauts love Corvettes. Moon missions and space orbits were often preceded by astronauts taking photos in uniform or in gear with their Corvettes. So the theme of the 5.5L engine is Rocket and the casting figure is an Easter egg. So….nothing to do with Oldsmobile.
