Space Camp sent out an email to let people know that our Saturn V will be featured on Good Morning America tomorrow morning as one of the “7 Wonders of America.”

From the email:

Good Morning America has named our Saturn V 500D/F as one of the 7 Wonders of America. The official announcement will be broadcast on Monday, May 12, and staff from ABC Television are already here in Huntsville preparing for the show that will broadcast from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. (Eastern and Central times)

ABC will do a series of “live shots” from the Davidson Center during the two-hour program and will discuss our newly-restored Saturn V rocket — the effort to build that rocket and send humans to the moon, our efforts to preserve it, Huntsvilles and Marshall Space Flight Center’s rich heritage in the space program, and SPACE CAMP’s efforts to ignite the interest of America’s next generation of scientists, engineers, mathematicians, and explorers.

Be sure to tune in!  And if you happen to be one of the newly hired counselors having just arrived for training, be sure to go out and wave to America!

It seems the Space Center hasn’t been taking care of all of their artifacts. Say it isn’t so!

NASA Watch had this post the other day.

In short, if you visited the Space Center during the mid-90s, you would have been able to walk though the Skylab trainer.

Well, it’s been sitting outside the back of the Space Center for years and it seems recent efforts to protect and preserve have been thwarted by the Space Center.

There’s also a swift kick at the end “alleging” (there’s photographic evidence) that the USSRC has been letting people climb around Casper for a small $10,000 fee.

I can only hope that nothing is as bad as it looks from this piece and that the Space & Rocket Center curator would want to do everything in her power to preserve to the best of her abilities every piece of space history in her care.

Anything less would be a true shame.

I was able to get down to our favorite museum on the opening day of the Saturn V last week.

I thought you’d like to see the absolutely beautiful building the USSRC has!

The USSRC has a new lobby to greet visitors as well!
