Huntsville, Alabama Rocket City, USA A Spirit Of Exploration - Unravel Travel TV
Huntsville is a city that values exploration. Known as Rocket City, USA, scientists and engineers in Huntsville helped put men on the moon during the Space Race. Today, that same spirit of innovation and opportunity bursts from every nook and corner of the city. After all, you don't get to space without a spirit of exploration. Just like you don't travel without a desire to discover new ideas and ways of thinking, being and doing. Huntsville understands travel. Our community was built around it.
Before and during the Civil War, Huntsville was a center for railroad and river-based trade and commerce. The Tennessee River remains a favorite local spot for summertime fun. Even now, we boast one of the nation’s oldest existing railroad depots where Civil War-era graffiti still marks the walls from the Confederate soldiers who were held captive there.
Unlike many Southern communities during the Civil War, Huntsville's buildings were mostly spared from destruction – leaving the Rocket City with one of the largest concentrations of antebellum homes in the South. The heart of this historic area is called Twickenham – a nod to the city’s original name given by pioneer John Hunt in 1805.
Over time, Huntsville was inhabited by wealthy cotton growers and land speculators in search of frontier property. The growing town turned toward textile manufacturing, establishing several mills that helped organize the town into distinct districts that still exist today as local landmarks of industry and creativity.
Landmarks
Look at the structures across town and you’ll see a beautiful collection of antebellum homes, renovated manufacturing mills, iconic Greek Revival-style buildings, a perfectly preserved down-home hardware store – the oldest in the state – and even a few spaceships. Where else can you find that combination?
In the middle of the 20th century, our bustling town became a critical support line for the U.S. Army before helping to launch the Space Race with the establishment of NASA and the Marshall Space Flight Center. Space exploration is celebrated across all of Huntsville – we are known as “Rocket City USA” after all – but it’s especially celebrated at Alabama’s most popular attraction, the U.S. Space & Rocket Center.
Academia has thrived since the early days of Huntsville thanks to Alabama A&M University, Oakwood University and the University of Alabama in Huntsville’s continued development into premiere research facilities.
Expanding further into science, technology and other industries is Cummings Research Park, the second largest in the nation. Established in 1962, this impressive consortium of more than 300 companies adds a bustling population of engineers, doctors, students and creatives. #EmbraceTheGeek.
The history of Huntsville has seen numerous influxes of new faces from all over the world, which makes our history and identity an ever-changing tapestry. From humble beginnings, the “Rocket City” has grown into a future-minded place to live, work, play... and, of course, to visit.

Ernst Stuhlinger - Von Braun Team Member - Reaction to Challenger
This is the raw video from 1986 of Dr. Ernst Stuhlinger giving his reaction to the destruction of the NASA space shuttle Challenger shortly after launch.
The only editing done to the video was to be the B Roll (used in editing stories) to after the interview. It was originally shot first.
Dr. Stuhlinger was a member of Wernher von Braun's team in Germany during World War II, and came to the United States after the war to work first for the U.S. Army and later NASA. He retired in 1976, after the end of Apollo - Saturn. He remained a resident of Huntsville, AL until his death in 2008 at the age of 94.

Pro Wrestling History: January 6th
2004: Bob Holly defeated The Big Show in a non-title Street Fight on Smackdown from the Von Braun Center in Huntsville, Alabama.
2006: Grandma's Boy featuring a cameo appearance by Kevin Nash was released.
2008: Kurt Angle defeated Christian Cage to retain the TNA Championship at Final Resolution from the Impact Zone in Orlando, Florida.
2014: Jake Roberts made his WWE return after a 9 year hiatus on RAW from The Arena in Baltimore, Maryland.
When I walked out, it was like I was deaf. I was in a zone, free of all the pain, disappointment, fears – all of that was gone. I was in a state of euphoria. After the long walk down the ramp to the ring, The Snake took over as it always did. I never had think about what I was doing out there.
I appreciate CM Punk so much more now than I ever have. He kneeled down over at the side, got completely out of the picture and allowed me to have that moment. It was incredible. It shows people what a true professional he is. He really raised himself up on my list of people that I respect. He didn’t have to do that. I’m the old fart who screwed up what I had. To be allowed to come back to WWE is the greatest gift that’s ever been given to me. Back in the day, I never appreciated what WWE had given me because I was in too much disarray and too confused about my own life. I let opportunities foolishly slip through my hands. To be given this opportunity to come back and grab a small piece of what was, that’s very special.
The hands were out. The smiles were out. I can tell that some of them knew what I was feeling. They could see it in me. I know I was glowing, no doubt about that. For once in my life, I was at a loss of words. And I’ve never been at a loss of words. I was the guy that could talk. I couldn’t even say my name. - Jake Roberts WWE.com interview January 9, 2014
2019: John Morrison defeated Brian Cage to retain the TNA Championship at Homecoming from the State Fairground Sports Arena in Nashville, Tennessee.

2017 Huntsville Madison County Tourism Impact
The Huntsville/Madison County Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB), along with the Alabama Tourism Department, released 2017 economic impact data for the travel industry on both the state and local level. 2017 saw the economic impact of travel and tourism to Madison County reach its highest levels ever, providing over 16,400 jobs and an economic impact of nearly $1.3 billion in Madison County alone. Those figures, as reported by the Alabama Tourism Department, represent a 9.2% increase in traveler spending on hotels, restaurants, shopping and transportation.
“Travel and tourism to Madison County is big business,” CVB President/CEO Judy Ryals said. “It directly impacts the pocketbooks of local residents, and we’re excited to release this information, especially since 2017 was yet another record-breaking year for economic impact. We are proud of how the travel and tourism industry supports local jobs, and we are honored to serve the roughly 3.1 million visitors that traveled to Huntsville/Madison County over the past year.”
The Alabama travel industry grew by $1 billion in 2017 to a record of $14.3 billion in expenditures, and increased jobs by 7,399 to some 186,906 employees, Gov. Kay Ivey announced today. She noted that the industry grew by 7% and attracted an additional 810,000 visitors to top 26 million guests for the first time.
“Every part of the state saw dramatic growth, from the mountains of the Tennessee Valley to the beaches along the Gulf Coast, the governor said. “Most communities generated more revenue and gained jobs through meetings, conventions, sporting events, visits to museums and other tourist attractions. The larger counties which have invested in sporting venues have seen an increase in the number of youth teams arriving from outside the immediate area for tournaments,” she said.
The release of this news follows closely behind National Travel and Tourism Week, observed this year May 6-12. To celebrate, the CVB hosted its annual Tourism Summit at the Von Braun Center on May 3. The Tourism Summit is a state of the industry update and professional development seminar for hotel, restaurant, attraction and quality of life influencers in Huntsville/Madison County.
Attendees heard from this year’s keynote speaker, Darienne Mobley, about the importance of customer service and other keys for success in the hospitality profession. Mobley has served as the Director of Tourism for Mississippi and Louisiana before starting her company, Darienne, Inc., in 2006.

The Alabama State Games Coming to Huntsville - ABC WAAY 31 Huntsville
The Alabama State Games will be held in Huntsville this June at the Von Braun Center.
Just because the winter Olympics is over, doesn't mean the games are finished, at least not here in Huntsville.
After 13 years, the Alabama State Games are coming back to the Rocket City.
The 2018 Alabama State Games will be this June, hosted by the city of Huntsville and Madison County, at the Von Braun Center downtown.
Everything was official this morning with the passing of the torch to Mayor Tommy Battle where he exclaimed, let the games begin!
This Olympic style event is Alabama's largest multi-sport event for youth, adults, and those with disabilities. It takes place Jun. 8-10 with the Opening Ceremony Kickoff on Friday Jun. 8.
This is no ordinary opening ceremony; with the organizations ties to the Olympics, they work to incorporate real Olympic aspects and highlight the athletes from all over the state and country competing right here in Huntsville.
This year is expected to be the largest games yet with the total number of sports rising from 18 to 28.
The impact on Huntsville's economy is also expected to be large.
Mayor Tommy Battle said, it does bring in revenue, it brings in lodging taxes, sales taxes, some of your restaurant money comes back into the caufers of the city.
What may be the best part about the event is that it's completely free to attend and the athletes do not have to qualify.
Some of the newest sports include kayak racing, archery 3D, horseshoes, baton twirling and pickleball.

City of Huntsville, CVB unveil signage for downtown Huntsville
In over 60 locations, signage to enhance residential/visitor experience
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
June 22, 2015
(Huntsville, AL) – What’s the deal with all of those poles going up in downtown Huntsville? They are the beginnings of installation for new wayfinding, or directional, signage for downtown Huntsville. The City of Huntsville, in conjunction with the Huntsville/Madison County Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB), unveiled the finished product and design of the signs today at a news conference. The location of the first sign to complete installation is located at the southeast corner of Courthouse Square near Harrison Brothers Hardware. Eight different sizes and versions of this wayfinding signage will be installed in strategic areas throughout downtown. (See signage renderings on page 5)
Installation will occur throughout the summer.
Locations for the signage extend from I-565 near the Washington Street exit on the northern boundary of downtown Huntsville, south to Governor’s Drive, west to Memorial Parkway and east to the edges of the Twickenham and Old Town Historic Districts. (See attached map on page 5 for signage locations*) *Some signage locations are still subject to change.
“Downtown is our central gathering place, and we want everyone to feel at home here in the heart of the City,” said Mayor Tommy Battle. “For visitors and residents to truly be comfortable, they need to be able to find their way around to attractions, public parking, and the popular arts & entertainment districts. The signs provide a polished look and are a helpful tool for citizens to enjoy our growing and thriving downtown.”
In all, approximately 65 signs will be installed in downtown Huntsville helping visitors and residents alike easily find key destinations such as the Von Braun Center, the Visitor Center, the Twickenham Historic District, the EarlyWorks Family of Museums, the Huntsville Museum of Art, the Arts & Entertainment Districts and more. Three larger, stone-based “gateway” signs will adorn key downtown Huntsville entry points.
Downtown Huntsville’s Twickenham, Old Town and Arts & Entertainment districts will have their own, branded icons on signage representing the diverse culture and character of the locations. (See attached examples on page 6)
“We’re excited to unveil, with the City of Huntsville, the new wayfinding signage as it presents a clear and unified ‘welcome’ to Huntsville’s city-center,” President/CEO of the Huntsville/Madison County CVB Judy Ryals said. “A big piece of the puzzle when it comes to enhancing Huntsville’s reputation as a visitor and meeting destination is having a vibrant, identifiable downtown that is easy to navigate. These signs will make our visitors’ experiences even better and hopefully promote more return trips and increased word-of-mouth recommendations.”
The design of the signage is centered on a water element representing Big Spring, the original water source for the City of Huntsville and the current location of Big Spring International Park.
Downtown wayfinding signage has been in the works since 2010, when representatives from the City of Huntsville and the Huntsville/Madison County Convention & Visitors Bureau formed an exploratory committee including Marie Bostick, former City of Huntsville manager of planning and zoning administration, Ken Newberry, planner for the City of Huntsville, Kelly Schrimsher, Director of Communications – Office of the Mayor, Jennifer Moore, CVB Vice President of Tourism and Judy Ryals, CVB President/CEO.
The CVB sincerely appreciates Alabama State Senator Arthur Orr’s assistance in getting this project off the ground. Senator Orr was instrumental in securing initial grant funding. The City of Huntsville embraced the project and oversaw its implementation.
Designed by Virginia-based Frazier Associates, the production of the signage was completed by Tuscaloosa-based company Knight Sign Industries (KSI).
Ultimately, the look, feel, and direction of the signage was determined by a committee of downtown community leaders including City Council President Mark Russell, The Arts Council Executive Director Allison Dillon-Jauken, Von Braun Center Executive Director Steve Maples, President/CEO of Downtown Huntsville, Inc. Chad Emerson, City of Huntsville Manager of Urban and Long Range Planning Dennis Madsen and additional representatives from the City of Huntsville and CVB.
