One Man's Scraps is Another Man's Artifact
Published: July 11 2025
When project manager Richard Bahorich took on his latest development from across the crawlerway, a dull, new-to-him hunk of metal caught his eye.
“I went over there one day and I said ‘Hey you don’t know me but…I’d love to put a piece of this mobile platform on display.’ Two days later, I have this two-and-a-half ton piece of metal here.”
Planted within the courtyard, the Apollo 11 mobile launch platform is one of many upcycled artifacts and interactives that stud the newly renovated Gantry at LC-39.
On episode 1.03, Jenna, Shelby and Richard tour the bus stop, observing the intersection between nature and technology. Plus, stick around for a sneak peek into the new Earth Information Center.
Join your hosts as we explore rocketry in an all-new way through effortlessly educational displays and the unbeatable 360° launch pad views.
“We have the other pads that the space partners shoot from across the way. You can literally feel it in your soul when these rockets take off.”
