In nasa's defense, outsiders probably don't realize exactly how much material they were dealing with. This may be a treasured jewel today, but at the time it was just part of the pile. I;m glad this was saved, but we cannot build a museum around every bit if space hardware. SpaceX has their first recovered rocket out front of their offices. In fifty years we might all be yelling at them for keeping such a precious artifact out in the weather.
