No, you didn’t misread that!
In another one of Bandanaman’s revealing Did You Knows?… did you know that Alabama, not Florida nor Texas was where they built the rocket that took Neil, Buzz and Michael to the Moon.
And so Huntsville is justifiably known as ‘Rocket City’.
That’ll be the 363ft Saturn V rocket you’ll see in the city.
The big anniversary date is July 20, and Huntsville which has been in party mood all year is really ratcheting it up next week.
So what’s on the agenda?
A Guinness world record attempt at the most simultaneous rocket launches, An Apollo Homecoming Dinner and dancing in Courthouse Square.
And to tie it all up, a concert on Moon Landing Day.
I found a €1,174 return flight from Dublin with Delta to Huntsville via Dulles. Visit http://www.delta.com.
