Greg Allison claims this title because instead of finding junked cars hidden in the back yard grass when he mows, he finds rockets. If you ever wondered what happened to the wreckage of the DCX rocket, now you know. Its remnants have been serving as a parts source for Alabama space entrepreneurs.
Here is what the stripped spaceframe looked like as of a few days ago.
The DCX rests in pieces.

It kinda reminds me of ‘The Rolling Stones’. No, not the band… the Heinlein novel!
Merde- To quote Indiana Jones ‘It belongs in a museum.”
Rolling Stones?
It looks like a honky tonk wigwam to me!
The rumor is that the 7500 pound thrust LOX/methane from XCOR is going to be really sweet.
(laughing)
Dale, you’re such a nerd!
But yeah…I really enjoyed reading the Rolling Stones, too.
I was recently back in St. Louis, MO. It’s been a while since I’ve been back “home.” I took the kids to the science center, there and saw that the McDonnell planetarium has been redone as a rather nice X-prize exhibit. Of course, I had to think of you and your posts here. I guess that makes me kinda nerdy, too.
