Reply to comment by EmersonEsq in Local update on Saturn IB removal. More details given by US Space & Rocket Center. by bowties_bullets1418

I suspect probably at least an order of magnitude higher. Building bespoke structures, even ones without any particular function, is extremely expensive. Just assembling leftover pieces to put a full-size replica of Saturn V on display cost something like $80m in today's dollars

I'm just stating their numbers. They've stated $7,000,000 for resto and it'd have be done on-site because due to its diameter it cannot now make it under the I65 overpasses. The $5,000,000 figure is what I heard was budgeted for the rest stop rebuild. Which, in THIS state, means $7.5-10,000,000 when it's finally completed. 🙄😒
