Here’s a list of where the stages and major components of the remaining Saturn V’s leftover after Projects Apollo and Skylab are located:
Apollo was originally intended to have twenty missions, but was ended after seventeen by the Nixon Administration.
Note: the provenance of the chart it unknown, but has been verified for accuracy.
On May 18, 1969, at 11:49AM ET, Apollo 10 launched from LC-39B at Cape Kennedy. It was the second mission to the moon (Apollo 8 being the first), the fifth launch of a Saturn V, and the first Saturn V launched from Pad LC-39B — the same pad that now supports SLS / Artemis.
It was quite a busy day for everyone at Kennedy Space Center, and my Dad, Armand Boyer, on duty that day as the “Pad Chief” was one of them. He was responsible for fire and safety activities at the launch pad, but his job for the day didn’t end with the rocket launching. The aftermath of the rocket leaving the pad was incredible in its own right.
