[i]Now Seattle’s Museum of Flight is preparing to put artifacts from the Apollo 12 and Apollo 16 moonshots on display next year. “It’s going to be breathtaking,” Dan Hagedorn, the museum’s curator and director of collections, told GeekWire. NASA isn’t quite finished with the paperwork, Hagedorn said. But the plan is solid enough to make arrangements for shipping more than a dozen artifacts up to Seattle from the Cosmosphere International SciEd Center and Space Museum in Kansas, where preservation experts have been working on them for more than two years. Hagedorn said the F-1 engine parts include two thrust chambers from Apollo 12, which was launched to the moon in 1969; and a heat exchanger from Apollo 16, launched in 1972.[/i]
