There is an ongoing discussion with the Marshall Space Flight Center and U.S. Space and Rocket Center on if the rocket should be taken down and restored or if anything, what should be in its place.
The U.S. Space and Rocket Center donated the rocket and since 1979 Saturn 1B has been on display. It is one of three vehicles in the Saturn group of rockets developed in Huntsville. The other two rockets are on display in Huntsville and at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
“Unless you have been up close to the rocket, you are not aware that it is not in very good shape,” Director of Alabama Tourism Department Lee Sentell said. “There has been some concerns about the safety of people around it.” Sentell explained that the destination of Saturn 1B is up to not only Alabamians but also people outside of the state. He is unsure if there is a timeline to make a decision but he feels as though it may be several years until a decision is made.
