Why do you think they store all that stuff in the desert in the first
place?

Well if theres NO launch pad left, then perhaps for parts?

Or perhaps they just havent gotten around to detroying them before
sending them off to be melted for scrap? Or are being retained in case
a museum wants some?

I just wonder why they havent been melted for scrap.

Incidently I do much the same for my office machine repair business,
have a 16 by 20 foot shed FULL of junkers for parts. when i have the
time i disassemble for scrap metal
