As was first speculated here about two weeks ago, the Huntsville Times is reporting that the Saturn V has made the cut as one of the “7 Wonders of America” according to a panel of experts assembled by Good Morning America.

ABC’s Huntsville affiliate, WAAY-TV, said Wednesday that “Good Morning America” will broadcast live segments Monday [12 May] from the Davidson Center for Space Exploration.

The Saturn V is certainly worthy of the list.  It is one of those creations that leaves you in awe when you stand beside it.  There’s something captivating about staring up at a huge rocket knowing that way up on the top men once sat in a small module that took them all the way to the moon.  It really puts mankind’s capability for accomplishing great things into perspective.  I try not to take for granted that I drive past it nearly every day.

This will be great publicity for Huntsville and the Space and Rocket Center.  Congratulations!
