The Saturn 1B, an icon of North Alabama, may still have some hope to stay right where it is on I-65 in Ardmore.
In January, an announcement was made that the rocket would be removed from the Ardmore Welcome Center because it had deteriorated in the elements for 44 years., with the hopes of keeping the iconic Saturn IB right where it is. However, in recent weeks, he decided to rework and reintroduce the bill after language about Alabama monuments was added to the original bill while in committee.
If the bill is passed, an inspection will be done to see if there is any chance to restore the rocket. If not, a plan would be put in motion to replicate the rocket. Whatever the outcome, Butler said the original or a replica needs to stay on the state line, because it represents what Alabama has to offer.
The Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs would oversee the construction and installation of a replica rocket if the original is beyond repair. The bill would also allow the department to accept public or private grants and donations to commission the rocket.
