Rocket City Rednecks is an American television show that focuses on engineering. The show is set in Huntsville, Alabama[1][2][3] (known as "Rocket City" for its historic contributions to the American space program), and features Travis Taylor, three of his relatives, and his best friend. All five cast members are highly educated (Travis holds multiple Ph.D. degrees and his brother-in-law also holds a Ph.D.) but, when not working on technical matters, play the part of stereotypical "rednecks" and use their advanced knowledge to solve "real world" problems (such as creating a rocket that uses moonshine as fuel).

The show was first broadcast on Wednesday September 28, 2011, with Tim Evans as the supervising producer.[4] It is broadcast on the National Geographic Channel, and will be shown in all regions of the United States.
