Several people have already pointed out that there is a 4th Saturn V in Huntsville, Alabama at the Marshall Space Flight Center. There were thirteen Saturn V launches (10 manned Apollo's, 2 test flights, and the SkyLab launch), and I believe, at the time the Saturns were cancelled, there were three boosters not assigned to any flights (they would have been Apollos 18,19,and 20). The fourth "Saturn V" laying on its side, rusting, is probably an engineering test model (for launch pad fit checks, etc. - I believe I read this somewhere). I don't know at which site the engineering version is on display. I don't believe that any were cut up for scrap. >* Bob Smith /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// / Robert Hammen Computer Applications hammen@csd4.milw.wisc.edu / / Delphi: HAMMEN GEnie: R.Hammen CI$: 70701,2104 / ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
