Without googling, who know where the Rocket City is and why it’s called that?

And go!

You got it!
And I see some of our members are from there, too.

Yeah...I’ll be in the SE for the foreseeable future...but not in the Rocket City

Huntsville, Alabama is home to the largest space museum in the world: the U.S. Space & RocketCenter. Not only is America's space program on exhibit in Huntsville, it was forged in Huntsville.

We're known as the "Rocket City" because Huntsville, Alabama is where rocketswere developed that put men on the moon.

I’ll have to stop by and snap a photo of my Rocket next to some of theirs!
