Restored Saturn V on display at JSC Houston

"Stan Marsh" wrote in message ... Houston's Saturn V restoration is complete: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19864964/ Let's hope the restoration of the Saturn V at Huntsville turns out as well. The only one of the remaining 3 standing vertically, it too has suffered greatly from exposure to the elements, and was found to be infested with raccoons and other critters You are confusing two different Saturn Vs at Huntsville. The vertical one is a mockup, not a real rocket. The horizontal one is the one being restored. Despite what the media may have said, it was a test vehicle, not a flight-rated Saturn V. There were only two unflown flight-rated Saturn Vs. (Fifteen were built, thirteen flew Apollos 4, 6, 8-17 and Skylab 1). The Saturn V at JSC is the only one with all flight-rated stages, but not all from the same vehicle. The Saturn V at KSC has a test first stage but is otherwise flight-rated. The remaining flight-rated first stage is on display at Michoud. |

I didn't mean to rock your hocus-pocus good ship LOLLIPOP that never got folks walking on our moon. - Brad Guth |

On the plus side, the rocket appears to much more viewable than the one at KSC. That one must be at least 10-12 feet off the floor, not the most tourist-friendly thing. Notice how there's still no such posted fly-by-rocket physics that actually works on behalf of hardly anything NASA/Apollo walking on that physically dark and nasty moon, for other than robotic orbiting (possibly at best a limited A13 human orbit) and otherwise impact or at best one-way hard landing deployments. - Brad Guth |
