Alabama played a significant role in the development of the space program. The rocket used by Apollo 11, the first successful flight to the moon, was designed and built in Alabama. The first NASA Space Flight Center was built in Alabama and the first director of the center was an Alabama native. His name was Dr. Wernher Von Braun and he led the U. S. Space program until June 1972. There are still many places throughout Alabama with ties to the Space Program including a Space Camp facility.

Although many people associate Mardi Gras with Louisiana, it was actually the state of Alabama that brought the tradition of the Mardi Gras Festival to the U.S.

In 1703, the city of Mobile was a French Colony. The solders of this colony had just survived a particularly bad yellow fever epidemic and decided to celebrate. So they paint their faces and partied! It became an annual event. In 1840,  a group known as the Cowbellion de Rakin Society transformed the party into a celebration and parade. Since then the Festival of Lent, or Mardi Gras, has just continued to grow. Every year during the months of February and March the streets of Mobile come alive with music, color and fun.

From the colonial age to the space age, Alabama is the quintessential American state demonstrating growth, progress, while maintaining tradition. Come on over to Sweet home Alabama, the heart of Dixie!
