T O P I C R E V I E WDavidHI apologize if this has been posted already, but The Huntsville Times published an update on the Saturn V restoration project recently: quote:The Saturn V rocket at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center will begin its $1.5 million makeover next week. And the summer-long project will culminate with the giant space craft being "shrink-wrapped." ...The team will scrub every inch of the Saturn V, including its 11 engines. They'll give it a fresh coat of paint.When they're done, they'll "shrink wrap" the 363-foot-long spaceship in polyurethane to protect it from the elements until it can be moved to a climate-controlled building, Capps said. http://tinyurl.com/a3a3a Of particular interest, though, is a new Web page where you can watch the renovations, live. http://207.111.165.30/view/index.shtml And, of course, you can donate to the project at: http://www.spacecamp.com/saturnv/ ------------------ http://allthese worlds.hatbag.net/space.php "America's challenge of today has forged man's destiny of tomorrow." - Commander Eugene Cernan, Apollo 17 Mission, 11 December 1972[This message has been edited by DavidH (edited June 15, 2005).]
