Just in time for the 50th anniversary of NASA's Apollo 11 astronauts landing on the moon, the space agency has a very big piece of history it's looking to offload. The historic Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) in Alabama played a central role in developing the Saturn rockets that powered the Apollo rocket program, and apparently it had one of the earliest models just lying around after all these years. According to documents and emails obtained by CNET, MSFC "has excessed a Saturn 1 Block 1 Booster portion of a Saturn rocket stack up."

You missed that one.
It’s mine now.
Everybody on Earth, Saturn now costs a tenth of a cent a look. A half cent if you use binocs, and a full penny if you use an optical device stronger than 100X.
I take PayPal.

Maybe we could all chip in on shipping and split the profits on scrap.

Tell the HOA it's out of your hands. Just post the proper signage.

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