Yea, ULA builds rockets in my hometown in North Alabama. They're developing a new engine for them in Huntsville to replace the ones they currently use that are produced in Russia. Sierra Nevada Corporation's Dream Chaser is capable of human transportation (looks like a mini Space Shuttle) and will use ULA's Atlas V rocket to enter space. The Dream Chaser is proposing landing at Huntsville International Airport and the airport is currently seeking FAA approval for it.
