It's weird that that hangar is abandoned. (Destiny)

Considering that is a super busy spaceport. It's, AFAIK, the busiest spaceport in the world, just beating out Cape Canaveral. Imagine if there was a massive abandoned hangar at the Cape with some Ares I rockets lying around like that. That would be strange.

Not so strange after all. Old article from 2012, but still there were units at the KSC that sat vacant. It's not even a new problem; lots of Gemini and Apollo facilites are abandoned too.

-- Steve thinks the only reason Pad 39a (launch pad for the Moon landings) isn't a museum is that NASA leased it to SpaceX for the cash.
