Build Your Own Saturn V

Posted by michael on from the hope-the-parachute-opens dept.

Illbay writes "Space.com has a great story about a company in Colorado that has introduced an incredibly detailed scale model of the Saturn V rocket booster that flies a lot like the real thing! Apogee Components has "taken the time to research the actual vehicles and then used that information correctly in creating the kits," with a scientist from the team that designed the Delta 2 rocket on staff. I remember the old Estes model rocket version of the Saturn V back in the 60s, but they were not very detailed and very difficult to get to fly properly. Looks like Apogee might have a winner."

    There is a problem with Saturns, as was discussed on Joel on Software last week. It made me rethink my purchase.

    BTW: Happy Halloween!
