I went to Cape Kennedy (or whatever it's called this year) a couple of
Christmas's ago and there was a huge Saturn V on static display, lying
horizontal on the ground.  There was also a huge F1 engine on display,
halfway rusted through.

We probably went there on the busiest day of the year.  No kidding... it
was more crowded than Disney World (and they were turning people away
from Disney World).  All the tours were booked.  All the displays were
jammed with people.  All the movies were sold out.  We basically went
in the bookstore, bought a couple of books, looked at the rusted rockets
outside, and then left.
