A handful of windows at [URL=https://ccspacemuseum.org/artifacts/hangar-c/]historic Hangar C[/URL] didn't survive the blast wave. No need for alarm. These panes weren't original to the 1953 missile-assembly building, and they're well outside the main gallery that houses more than 30 restored rockets and missiles. Crews will replace them with modern windows designed to handle the kind of forces today's launch vehicles produce. When Hangar C went up in 1953, rocket thrust was measured in the thousands of pounds. Now we measure it in the millions. That evolution creates a preservation environment unlike anything else on Earth. Between the tropical climate, salty air, and the proximity to high-energy launches, our team faces a unique set of "agents of deterioration." The upside is that Cape Canaveral is an incredible laboratory. Every event gives us data, and every challenge pushes us to refine how we protect and preserve America's launch heritage. Congratulations to Blue Origin and NASA on the successful NG-2 Escapade mission! Here's to many more launches... and to keeping history standing strong right beside them.[/i]</BLOCKQUOTE> <center><a href="http://www.collectspace.com/review/blue_origin_ng2_ccsfm_hangar_c_windows01-lg.jpg" target="AirLock"><img src="http://www.collectspace.com/review/blue_origin_ng2_ccsfm_hangar_c_windows01.jpg" width="400" height="300" border="0"></a></center>[/B][/QUOTE]
