I would just like to point out that I have always enjoyed Huntsville. Even when I lived here previously, there was never a moment I didn’t cherish, didn’t learn from & don’t look back on fondly. Maybe it’s because this is the “Rocket City.”
The U.S. Space & Rocket Center is located here (along with half of all the military & aerospace companies in the world), and since they are located here, so are their rockets.
Now, this particular one is not actually at the Space & Rocket Center, but it’s just outside the city, welcoming people into a city that’s a sort of island in the sea of “The South.” I say this because it’s probably not what you’d imagine, due to movies you may have seen & books you may have read. It’s a hub for all things military & aerospace (sort of Colorado Springs’ sister city) and thus, people from all over the country reside here.But back to my point. I’ve been to the SRC about a million times & I never get tired of it. It’s amazing. And apparently ranked as one of the 1000 things you need to see in the U.S. before you die. (Interesting, so I’ve been there enough for at least 10 lifetimes? :) I love seeing the giant rockets from almost any point in the city, and so I love that they planted this one right along the highway giving you a glimpse into the history of Huntsville. Rock on Huntsville. Rock on.
