Changes

With the onset of World War II the city was chosen as the location of Redstone Arsenal, a military base. After the war, captured Nazi scientist [[Wernher von Braun]] was brought to the base to work at the Marshall Space Flight Center and develop what would become [[NASA]]. Due to its history of involvement with the US space program, the city has been nicknamed "Rocket City", for which it has been famous ever since.

Redstone Arsenal (located outside the city proper) is home to many organizational units of the [[United States Army]], along with [[NASA]] and the [[FBI]].  It is long rumored that, should President [[Donald Trump]] succeed in moving agencies' headquarters from the Washington, DC area, that Huntsville would be a probable location for the FBI.  In September 2025 it was named as the home of the United States Space Command (it was the original planned location during the first Trump Administration, only to have the Command move to outside [[Denver]] during the Biden Administration).
