  • Should sell pieves of them.....Id buy some. That's history......

  • Woo Hoo Recycling! At least it's not being dumped in the ocean like they used to do and they are saving important pieces of it. You can't just let it sit there and rust.

  • If you ask me, I'd say that it's wrong to dismantle history like Launch Pad 39B at KSC, it should be preserved AS IT WAS when it was in use for the Space Shuttle flights, this is cruelty to see history destroyed. :(
