There is a movement to raise perhaps as much as $10 million to save it. There are talks about replacing it with a replica rocket. And the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, charged by NASA with bringing it down, is making moves just to see if it can be moved – asking the Alabama attorney general’s office if removing the rocket will violate the state’s 2017 monument-protection law.
“The win-win is, is a benefit, not a burden,” Thornton said. “All you hear in the objections are burden, burden, burden, burden. And we’re trying to say, benefit, benefit, benefit, benefit. And oh, by the way, just let go of it and we’ll find the technology and we’ll find the money to achieve that benefit.”It’s that letting-go-of-it part that’s the trick. The rocket belongs to NASA and the space agency has made plans to disassemble it once it is grounded.
Meanwhile, the rocket center in Huntsville is trying to make sure it doesn’t break the law in taking down the rocket. The legislature in 2017 passed the Alabama Memorial Preservation Act in response to the removal of Confederate monuments across the country. The law prohibits the relocation, removal, alteration, renaming, or other disturbance of any monument located on public property which has been in place for 40 years or more.
Thornton’s plan would make the legality issue a moot point. In a memo provided to AL.com, he said a more thorough assessment needs to be done of the rocket before determining it has no future. NASA has not shared details about its assessment of the rocket but described it as “beyond repair and restoration.”
