New Mexico space museum volunteers restoring DC-X for exhibit.

I thought DC-X was completely destroyed on its last flight due to one of
its landing legs not deploying (ground processing error which left a
pneumatic line disconnected, or something like that)?

What exactly do they think they're "restoring"?
