Default Scrapped LEMs

LEM expert, Frank O'Brien, tells me that the piece at Franklin Institute is
probably a training article. The reason is that it lacks the in depth plumbing
that is apparent on other units. For awhile, the piece stood out in the open of
Philidelphia, and was heavily vandalized. It was eventually moved to it's
present location. Chicago's LEM is a mockup as well.


What about the LM that used to be in the JSC Visitor's Center (bldg 2) and is
now in Space Center Houston? It's not on that list, is it another training
article?

And why did LM-4 (Apollo 10) go into heliocentric orbit rather than crash into
the moon?
