What happened to the links to the individual members of the Saturn V family?

http://www.astronautix.com/lvfam/saturnv.htm

I guess they're he

http://www.astronautix.com/lvs/saturnv.htm


And what's with the non-vertical pictures of launch vehicles? That's more
than a bit odd.

Oh well, it's still free, so that's something.

Maybe it's a 'work-in-progress' situation - finding out what works. I've
sent several emails to Mark saying "Get your finger out" and "Well??..." in
recent months; just as friendly jibes mind you. He said the work would be
up at the beginning of June, but it was only in the past week or so that it
actually happened.

I suggest contacting Mark via his website email addy and asking him.

O-kay, what the hell just happened there?
"Drug and Alcohol Rehabs - Comprehensive addiction resources for Drug
and Alcohol Rehabs and substance abuse treatment and research
Mens Underwear - Classic, comfortable styles for him in revolutionary
fabrics
Phentermine - Phentermine friends and support
Flower Delivery - Flowers delivered fresh from the fields. Proflowers
delivery service sends love, not like.
Satellite Internet Service - HughesNet offers high speed internet via
satellite technology available nationwide
Custom Essay - Provides custom written essays on any subjects and in
various formats and styles."

Oh, poor Mark Wade... this is where it all ends up at, doesn't it?
The raw excitement of the historical "Space Age" died in a morass of
"Men's Underwear" ads and alcohol and drug rehab programs with flower
delivery options.
About time to stick a large bouquet of white lilies on Wernher von
Braun's grave.
The classic "Golden Age" of space exploration dreams is completely
****ing dead now, isn't it? :-(

Considering the cost involved in running a site like that and also how
specialised it is, I think he does well not to stoop to porn of any kind.

I assume he lost his funding for the website support. That's where the
"UFO DNA" ads came from as advertisers on the website.
God, what a shame after all the effort he put into making it.

If "Encyclopedia Astronautica" vanishes from the web, the world has lost
the most valuable connection to the history of the space age that ever
existed.....and then there's only left everything less than it...that
aspired to be it.

I'm sure he'd accept the money of even a former lawyer (as long as it was
anonymous, of course) ;-)
