OCCUPATION(S): Rocket scientists
ABOUT THE SHOW: The “Rocket City” of the show’s title is Huntsville, Alabama, home to NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center; the “rednecks” are five fun-lovin’ engineers — two of whom have earned Ph.D.s — employed at the facility. Each episode has this tight-knit team of friends and family tackle a challenge, from constructing a small submarine to building a rocket fueled by — what else? — moonshine.
TYPICAL MOMENT: The boys visit a NASCAR race, where they show off their tricked-out RV.
