Apollo Lunar Mission Was "Made In North Alabama"

The TimesDaily of Florence, Ala., details how this rural region in the South played a key role in the American space program:

When Eugene Cagle sat in his Rogersville home watching television on July 20, 1969, he was overcome with pride that the work he and his team had put in helping to develop and construct the massive Saturn V rocket had been worth the long hours.

Cagle, 83, is retired from NASA, but he was among those who worked to bring together the engineering needed to build a rocket that would carry a man to the moon. Cagle was stationed at Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville.
