This morning, ABC's Good Morning America featured the Saturn V rocket in North Alabama as one of their 7 Wonders of America. In Huntsville, you don't have to look very hard to find someone involved with the development of the Saturn V, or the development of any of the latest space technology for that matter.
I think this is a really good choice. As they put it, the Saturn V represents America's "pioneering spirit" and is a great example of the scientific advancements made by our nation.
Did you know that the Saturn V is the most powerful rocket ever developed (according to the story on GMA)? I had no idea, but it makes sense. It sure beats the 2-Liter water/air pressurized "rockets" we made in my high school chemistry class.

It's about time Huntsville got recognized for something other than being in Alabama!
No kidding! Alabama gets a bad rap anyway, but Huntsville is especially well-educated and interesting.
If you read the ABC GMA article, scroll down to the bottom. Several readers started pointing out corrections to the Saturn V descriptions and the term "Rocket Town" (Huntsville is known as the "Rocket CITY").
Haha... looks like some engineers have already put them straight!
