This Saturn 1B first stage has been in the news in the past days because it is part of the roadside rocket display that for 40 years has welcomed drivers entering the state of Alabama. That display was erected in 1979 at the Ardmore Welcome Center in Elkmont, but now it may have to be be destroyed due to its failing condition after nearly four-and-a-half decades on vertical outdoor display.
