The city of Huntsville is
nicknamed the "Rocket City" for its close association with the US space mission in
1958.
Hunstville International airport is like a museum of
Space and Rockets, filled with an impressive display of photos. There's much to see.
I arrived in Huntsville late at night, so
I decided to stay at the Sheraton hotel located at the airport. The hotel gave me
a crew discounted rate with breakfast. The concierge staff was friendly, so it was a great hotel
experience.
My day was basically spent at the US Space
and Rocket Center. Even though I've visited NASA in Texas and Florida, I didn't mind seeing the same thing in a different location. One unique experience I had was my ride on the war vehicle in a digital war zone. It was a cool thing to do. But I wonder how it feels when it's real.
My trip to Hunstville was short but a good
one as well. I met friendly people and heard (first hand) the famous Alabama accent.
Do you know the famous song, "Sweet Home Alabama?" It goes like this:
"Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet home Alabama
Lord, I'm comin' home to you."
