[FPSPACE] Hurricane Ike at JSC

[Robert Pearlman]

Dave,

Since you were there, a building was erected around the Saturn V and  
it was restored:

'Houston, we have a restored moon rocket'

Aerial photography of JSC after Ike had passed shows the building in  
apparent good shape (its roof appearing to be intact) and the Redstone  
and Little Joe still standing nearby.
