Tradition matters in Alabama more than it does in most places, and though some Alabama residents were pulled into the 20th century kicking and screaming during the Civil Rights' era upheavals of the 1950s and '60s, today Alabama is sprinting into the 21st.

Huntsville, Alabama is known as the rocket capital of the world, and workers there assembled the rockets that put men on the moon. There's even a little luxury too.
