Man, do I ever miss the old Saturn V rockets.

Huntsville (AL) Air and Space museum used to have the last full Saturn V laying on its side years ago before they refurbed it for a museum.

Just amazing how big that thing was.

I think it’s still there. There is also one in front of JSC in Houston. The one at JSC was going to be Apollo 19, but became a museum piece instead because the mission was scrubbed. I =think= the one at Huntsville was supposed to be Apollo 20.

I think it’s sad that we built 2 entire Saturn V rockets, then just junked them. What a waste.
