Discussions have also begun on a possible replacement for the rocket at the rest stop.
The Saturn 1B rocket, shown here in January 2023, at the I-65 Alabama welcome center just south of the Tennessee state line has an uncertain future amid continuing deterioration. Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville said earlier in the day that it supported removing the rocket, saying that deterioration was too extensive to repair and that it could become a safety hazard. The rest stop is now closed while undergoing renovation by the Alabama Department of Transportation.
Its presence is to remind travelers of Huntsville’s space travel legacy that’s been renewed with the December launch of Artemis I that orbited the moon.
