Default First Stage Impact Points?


Some are on the Moon.


And I would hope they stay there. *They're being quite well preserved
sitting on the earth facing side of our airless moon on what any sane
person would consider a historical site that should not be disturbed.

Jeff



just curious of the LM apollo 11s upper stage were located on the moon
how would you feel about recovering some of its parts, now spread
across a lunar crash site??

Only if a museum can't find something better to display. Even for
museums, it's about displaying artifacts that bring in visitors.
Without visitors, and their money, museums die.


I rather imagine the museum/s putting up the money for recovery know
what will bring in more visitors?


And just what museums are putting up the money, Bobbert?

how was gus grissoms capsule recovery funded?

I vaguely recall national geographic put up some of the cash, the
museum where it lives some too....

Whoever funds it is THEIR MONEY and they must at least believe they
know what will be useful for them!

Splashy tv show, bring in more museum visitors, get sponsors
interested in space to help pay for its recovery.

Now picture apollo 11s engine bells, with some photos of the
astronauts that used it for the moon mission. with sponsorship logos
in clear view....

the advertising value would likely pay for a good part of the
recovery

lets realize companies spend millions for 30 second football
commercials

You're wrong. It was the Discovery Channel who financed the search
expedition for Liberty Bell 7.

Liberty Bell 7 capsule raised from ocean floor
July 20, 1999
http://articles.cnn.com/1999-07-20/t...m.capsule.01_1
_kansas-cosmosphere-curt-newport-capsule?_s=PM:TECH

But, that wasn't the question. The question is, who's funding recovery
of first stage parts of Apollo 11's Saturn V?

Whoever funds it is THEIR MONEY and they must at least believe they
know what will be useful for them!


In other words, you don't know who will fund this nearly worthless
endeavor.

Splashy tv show, bring in more museum visitors, get sponsors
interested in space to help pay for its recovery.


Doubtful. The Discovery Channel can certainly guess what the ratings
will be based on their coverage of the raising and restoration of
Liberty Bell 7. If it were worthwhile, they'd have almost certainly
done it by now, 13 years after the raising of Liberty Bell 7.

Now picture apollo 11s engine bells, with some photos of the
astronauts that used it for the moon mission. with sponsorship logos

I see you completely evaded a direct question, so I'm going to guess you
don't know the answer.

So, *NOT* a museum, then, but a vanity project. *I see why you snipped
the context, as it made you look even stupider than usual.

the parts recovered are the property of nasa and the stages have
already been located and mapped. so the project is under way in one
form or another.....

of course you would know this if you had bothered to read the article
