BTW, something has bugged me since I first began to read this article, and it needs to be corrected. The Saturn V at Huntsville is not a "replica" -- it's one of three surviving Saturn V boosters, the other two are at Houston and Canaveral. Of course, the rest of the Saturn V boosters still exist, but they're at the bottom of the ocean. There's a deep-sea recovery and rehab job just crying out for fruition.

Pretty much yes.

That’s a great book. RCA ripped him off big time.

[SunkenCiv]

Definitely.
