Getting it to the playa might be a bit difficult, unless you fly it there.

To quote the article:

"A 70' tall rocket ship that was used as a sign at the Montreal Expo in 1967 will be sold to the highest bidder. "

(I never said that it would fly on its own... it'd look pretty cool hanging from the belly of a jumbo jet...)

piece of cake landing one...NASA does it all the time at Edwards AFB near Lancaster ,CA... Touch down on the lakebed. Look it up on google earth and you can see the runways in the dust and a huge compasss rose.

heck, If it's on fire when you land, so much the better, it be ART! :D
