Rocketry Planet

As one chapter ends another begins. Steve Eves world record setting 1:10 scale Saturn V will be on display at LDRS-28 for Saturday and Sunday. This will be the last opportunity to see this massive rocket, before it goes on permanent display.

After LDRS 28 Steve will be transporting the rocket to its final home, The U.S. Space and Rockets Center in Huntsville, Alabama. Steve had many offers from all over the country to display his history making rocket. It was always Steve's desire to have the rocket displayed at the birth place of the Apollo Program. The U.S Space and Rockets center is located on the outskirts of the Redstone Arsenal where Wernher Von Braun developed the Saturn V.

The 1:10 Scale Saturn V will officially go on display July 10, 2009. It will be the part of the Redstone Project Reunion and also be included in the 40th Anniversary of man landing on moon, July 20, 2009.

Steve has set a new a new standard for hobby rocketry. ROCKETS Magazine was proud to be part of this once in a lifetime project. We congratulate Steve for all of his personal accomplishments with the building and the successful flight of the Saturn V. We know how honored Steve is to take this next step and final with his project.  The 1:10 scale Saturn V will be displayed vertically in the Davidson Center. This will be the only rocket displayed in the shadow of full scale Saturn V, which would have been Apollo 18, which has never flown.

Steve didn't set out to make history, it came as a by product of his passion and dedication. This is a lesson we all can learn from.
