The Saturn V on display at MSFC consists of all test stages. http://www.thespacereview.com/article/2127/1 so there were 2 flight worth stacks left outside to rot..... sad ending of a great launcher |

... Jeff Findley wrote: My original point was, not everything you see on display is "flight worthy". Because of this, I have a feeling that Bob might be over estimating how many "flight worthy" Saturn V launch vehicles existed after the last Saturn V flew. I'm sure he is. He over estimates everything else, after all. The number, as I recall it, was 'two'. Actually easy enough to figure out how many are left. ;-) 15 were ordered. 13 flown. I think even Bob can do that math. Now, I'll admit to curiosity as to how the individual pieces ended up where they did. It does seem a bit arbitrary. :-) -- Greg D.

It was moved. what has happened to the skylab trainer should be criminal I'm as big a space geek as the next guy, but I for one will never understand all this worship for a damned training article.

At least the backup Skylab is in the NASM. Jeff -- " Ares 1 is a prime example of the fact that NASA just can't get it up anymore... and when they can, it doesn't stay up long. " - tinker |

True. Skylab was tiny compared to what NASA could have done with 33 foot diameter lab modules: Orbital Launch Facility Jun 06, 2012 http://up-ship.com/blog/?p=15021 For extra fun, imagine keeping the 2nd stage attached for "wet workshop" space.
