HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (AP) American space travel’s past, present and likely future met in Alabama on Thursday when the first private-citizen astronauts talked about their privately funded mission with students at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville.
“It’s really the first time any astronauts have gone into space flight that weren’t sent there by a superpower,” Jared Issacman said of his crew’s upcoming mission during a visit with students at the space center’s Aviation Challenge program. The reference was to America, Soviet Union/Russia and China.

Gov. Kay Ivey reminded Alabamians Thursday morning that âAlabama is not only open for business, but itâs the best place to do business.â
Ivey gave an update on the state from the chambers of the Huntsville-Madison County Chamber at 10:30 a.m., touching on topics including the stateâs recent economic rebound and the recent legislative session, which wrapped on Sunday, May 30.
âJust one year ago Alabama was still riding the wave of the COVID-19 pandemic with thousands of cases and numerous deaths still occurring on a daily basis,â she said. âWhile we havenât quite defeated this thing for good, I think all of us gathered here today share a much more optimistic outlook than we did in May of 2020.â
