Huntsville, Alabama is one of the main reasons why the United States of America has put a man on the moon and is the preeminent leader in space exploration. The nearby Marshall Space Flight Center was responsible for the development of the Apollo's Saturn V rockets that took the U.S. to the moon and back during the 1970s.
A mammoth replica of the Saturn V rocket greets visitors at the entrance to the U.S. Space & Rocket Museum, billed as "Earth's largest space museum."
More than 1,500 artifacts from space are on display including the Apollo 16 space capsule, a lunar rover, and moon rocks.

Anna and her father David took a detour from a recent Mississippi to Ohio roadtrip to provide the Space Center photos in today's entry. For their dedication in supporting the AAA blog, we salute them with this timeless Dr Pepper memory from 1994.
