Travis Taylor is the leader of the Rocket City Rednecks, a National Geographic Channel series that follows five guys from Huntsville, Ala. - home to NASA's Marshall Flight Center and the birthplace of the U.S. space programs. The Rednecks are in fact rocket scientists with PhDs, and their weekend experiments combine a little hillbilly ingenuity with advanced engineering and physics to tackle real-world scenarios.
