NASA Marshall Spaceflight Center in Huntsville Alabama is giving away a Saturn 1 Block 1 booster - as long as one has the $ 250,000 to haul it away

This is Block 1 , without the stabilizing fins of the later modules

The Saturn 1 was used to launch early model test capsules for the Apollo program

Wonder if could be refurbed and made flight ready again …….

Shipping and handling is a bit out of my price range.

I’ve got nowhere to store the thing.

I need one of them! Wow, my lucky day. I was watching a film from George Melies which has inspired me for a project.

I had heard they lost the plans. Couldn’t they have reverse engineered it from one of these leftovers?

I hope they at least looked at the designs prior to building the latest models...

One of my kids works at NASA. He’s been pushing us to get the rocket booster for him as a gift.
