Some how no one noticed the rocket the cows were building in the barn...


About three miles from the Tennessee state line headed south on Interstate 65 you will find this rocket with a plaque that reads...
"Developed by the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. Erected on this site in July of 1979 by the citizens of Alabama as a tribute to the men and women who made it possible for this nation to explore space for peaceful purposes... The Saturn 1B Launch Vehicle was used for orbital missions with the Apollo spacecraft and lunar module - but it was the Saturn 5 that took them to the Moon."
Hight - 224 ft / 68 meters
Weight at launch - 1,296,304 Lb / 588,000 Kg

This shot was taken from a country road about 3/4 mile - 1Km away.
Special thanks to LynEve for letting me use the sky from her photo titled "The Lonely Road" to dress up a very monotone overcast sky.
