Within the last year or two, I remember reading in a book (as opposed to on the Internet) a story about an Apollo 5/LM-1 propellant tank which survived re-entry and was subsequently recovered.I went back and searched the index of the books which I considered the "most likely suspects," but I was unable to locate the story. I have found a small amount of information on a couple of places on the Internet, but nothing substantial. Does anyone remember reading about this? Can anyone point me in the right direction, saving me a year or two of re-reading? Of course, any additional information on this topic would also be welcome. [Edited by mikej (November 14, 2006).] |

I believe I read this in "Chariots For Apollo" by Charles Pellegrino and Joshua Stoff. A few years ago, a fragment or two from the remains of LM-1 were listed for sale on ebay. I was outbid and haven't seen any more since. |
