(Photos by Tracy Dungan)
This A-4/V-2 replica is located at the Kirkpatrick Science and Air Space
Museum, Oklahoma City, OK (verified). This rocket is a full-scale replica,
one of four built for filming in the TV mini-series "Space" (1985) by the
company that eventually became "Spaceworks" (Hutchinson, Kansas). Three
of the four replicas were blown up for the film and this one remained discarded
after the production. It was then discovered by Oklahoma native and astronaut,
Tom Stafford, who arranged for it to be moved to Oklahoma City. The rocket
was moved recently from the main gallery in the Air and Space wing to an
upstairs location to make room for a new exhibit.
