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.

That’s only five hours from here. I bet I could borrow my brother-in-law’s dualie and get it here in one piece. Make for one helluva centerpiece in the front yard.

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...

Perhaps the PIAPs sold them to the communist Chinese?

I wonder what the HOA would say about that on my front lawn.

That’s a myth
Have everything both on paper and microfilm
Von Braun cobbled this together using parts from his REDZSTONE and JUPITER missiles
Used 8 H2 engines from Jupiter, 8 Redstone fuel tanks for kerosene with a tank from Jupiter in center for LOX
Was called “CLUSTERS LAST STAND” by those who did not think could work
Had a 100% launch record, incliding test launches of first stage only
