Travis Taylor is the official ringleader of the Rocket City Rednecks, a National Geographic Channel series that follows five guys from Huntsville, Alabama - home to NASA's Marshall Flight Center and the birthplace of the U.S. space programs. Travis will show clips from the show and explain how they do it all. The Rednecks are rocket scientists with PhDs, and their weekend experiments combine a little hillbilly ingenuity with advanced engineering and physics. Travis has worked with the Department of Defense and NASA for the past twenty-five years, holds five degrees, is completing a second PhD in aerospace engineering, and is the author of A New American Space Plan.
