I looks like someone shot the Saturn V this morning.
Are there any wildlife areas around there? It is hunting season, and a high-caliber bullet can travel an awfully long way when fired at the right upward angle. I know this because I got shot once in the Army, from a bullet fired on a training range over a mile away. I just hope it wasn't someone specifically shooting at the Saturn!

From the description on CollectSpace, the way the bullets landed, the shooter had to have been moving, driving down 565. Bullets from a stationary shooter a mile away wouldn't have skirted down the rocket the way it did. One bullet hit between the first and second stages, while another impacted on the third stage just below the IU. All signs say drive-by.

Yeah, unless someone saw it happen or the shooter is dumb enough to brag about it later, there's no way they're going to find them.

I was at the space center today. I heard no talk on this.I guess no one would say anything about it anyway. It hot in Huntsville today. Lots of kids in space camp. I am ready for space camp in September!!
