One year of Axios Huntsville

Axios Huntsville's first anniversary was June 23.

Why it matters: Your support is what makes all this possible, so thank you for starting your mornings with us!

The big picture: What a year it's been.

• We've kept you up-to-date on a big year for the rapidly-growing Rocket City, from Space Command's move, NASA's budget and MidCity's next chapter to AI cameras on garbage trucks, Galaxy of Lights turning 30 and Huntsville's growing music scene.
• We've held two live events, watched Artemis II take off and splash down, welcomed Ikea, grown some tomatoes and eaten our fair share of tacos.

What we're watching: We're looking forward to another year of big moves, and getting you smarter, faster, on what matters in Huntsville.

💭 Derek's thought bubble: Thank you all so much for the warm welcome, the story tips, and for making us a part of your morning scroll.

• 🍻 Here's to many more!

The bottom line: See you back here first thing tomorrow!
