collectSPACE Saturn V, space shuttle Pathfinder up for 'adoption' to aid in artifact preservationYou can now take an aerospace relic under your "wing" and help give it the care it needs for the years to come. The U.S. Space & Rocket Center Education Foundation has launched an "Adopt an Artifact" program to give the public a chance to "acquire" one or more historic vehicles to aid in their preservation.  |

What happened to this program? I have been trying to go to the site but I get a "Sorry! That page doesn't seem to exist." message.I don't see anything on the website itself either. |

I have heard that the program needed to be restructured to resolve a conflict with the Smithsonian (which owns the Saturn V). |
