There is a division of Rolls Royce that manufacturers some gigantic stuff near that part of Ohio. They, and the state, paid to have bridges, ramps, signage, etc. raised, widened, and so on between there and the Ohio River so that these enormous super oversized tractor trailers can get them from the factory to the oceangoing river barge.well I read the article and still don't understand why the small town would be interested in getting it because it says at the bottom of the article that it is too big to be transported due to the size of it and overpasses Within the road system
it said it was going to cost $7 million dollars to move and it said the population of the city was only 2400If they can get it to the coast, it might be possible. Probably far to expensive, but it might be possible.
The Glenn Museum is the party that probably wants it - they may have endowment money that needs spending and even though Glenn never rode a S1b it would look pretty nifty on the museum grounds. He may have had some engineering input?well I read the article and still don't understand why the small town would be interested in getting it because it says at the bottom of the article that it is too big to be transported due to the size of it and overpasses Within the road system
Still not impossible. John Glenn was an American icon and was a Senator from our state for decades afterwards and was well liked by Democrats and Republicans alike. A GoFundMe in Ohio would probably raise $7 million.it said it was going to cost $7 million dollars to move and it said the population of the city was only 2400
that would be the reasonable and logical thing to do, and Logistics would make it very cost-effective for the community to have it on display.Regardless, I don't see the rocket being moved successfully, but if they really just want the capsule, hopefully they can make it happen.
