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?? |

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 |

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