[i]Delta 2's have been a workhorse vehicle for decades because they can have additional solid-fuel boosters attached to push heavy payloads into space. Some of those boosters were even manufactured in Pueblo when the Boeing Co. had a plant at the airport industrial park. One of those motors came home Thursday when it was unloaded for display outside the Pueblo Weisbrod Aircraft Museum. It was donated by United Launch Alliance, the rocket partnership that formed in 2005 between Boeing and Lockheed Martin Corp. The 4,400-pound motor was given to the Southern Colorado Space Museum and Learning Center, which is a long name for the personal space collection of Steve Janssen, its enthusiastic founder. Janssen, from Westcliffe, has his space collection — which includes items like a tire from a NASA space shuttle — housed at the Pueblo aircraft museum.[/i]
