no it is not it is one of the left over rockets that was never used, nothing on the saturn v was reused

Go baby go!

Nope, the one at KSC was going to be Apollo 18 but the program got cut before it had a chance to go up.

The Apollo Guidance Computer onboard the spacecraft didn't really calculate the ascent and other flight paths. This was done month ago already by rather large computers at the Launch Control Center and at Mission Control Houston. The Apollo onboard computer just monitored the flight paths and calculated things like current velocity and distance. Even the 5 Space Shuttle onboard computers can be compared to an old Intel80486.

you can see a second after launch the rocket starts to tip left slightly under the sheer wieght of the craft. that wasn't supposed to happen, but it was corrected nicely. scary moment tho

Do you mean the entire rocket?....the truth is only the command module returned to earth and I believe is on display in Washington DC

a great moment in time!

oh..i've only been there once, but i can remember how large it is... thanks.
