Huntsville is the home of the U.S. Space & Rocket Center.  They have a very large museum of space artifacts ranging from small moon rocks to complete full size rockets that were used to launch us into space.  They also have the actual moon rover that was used to drive on the moon and several real space capsules that were used at the beginning of our space explorations.  Also on display is one of the actual space shuttles that were used until just recently.  There are only a couple of them in the world.  This museum has been there for many, many years and, in some areas, it shows it’s years but all and all it’s a very interesting place.
