NASA Puts Saturn V Rocket on Display

The Saturn V rocket, which is now on display in Alabama , spent 35 years lying on its sand with animals living in it and was finally brought out and remodeled it so as to put it on display. This was a very smart move on their part because it means the rocket will get a lot of well-deserved attention. A man who helped build the rocket about 50 years ago and is now 95-years-old, says it looks as good as it did when it was first built. This project cost $23.4 million and was helpful to the expanding state-owned museum. I hope they get enough money back to repay what amount was used to preserve the rocket. I would go see it but I live too far away from it to be able to.
