Site Notes
There's about three dozen solid rockets on display in front of the ATK (formerly Morton Thiokol) building. All the rockets were designed by ATK over the last fifty years. There's small rockets all the way up to an SRB from the Space Shuttle. There’s no food or water available at the display and no restaurants in Howell, the closest town.
There's no gift shop at the ATK display - this is just a static display of rockets.
Paul’s Favorite
I like rockets, so the bigger the rocket, the better. The solid rocket booster, or SRB, displayed let's you see just how big the Space Shuttle stack is. There's a single segment of the Space Shuttle SRB laying on its side that I also found impressive.
Rachel’s Favorite
I also liked the NASA SRB best, mainly due to its large size. It was also interesting to see how everything gets put together. I don't know a lot about rockets, but there is definitely something about large rockets that gets one interested.
