A New American Space Plan

By Travis S. Taylor with Stephanie Osborn

A New American Space Plan cover

Meet the Rocket City Rednecks. They're five "backwoods" guys from the rocket city:
Huntsville, Alabama, home to NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center and the birthplace
of the U.S. space program. Sure, they love to shoot stuff and drink beer, and one of
'em lives in a trailer, but with a family tree full of NASA rocket scientists (not to
mention their own PhDs and advanced degrees), they aim a little higher—like using
homemade moonshine to fuel a rocket!

Now, in typical laid-back style, Dr. Travis S. Taylor, leader of the crew, and colleague
Stephanie Osborn deliver the goods on how America can return to space exploration
and manned space flight. What's needed is a good old "try anything" attitude, a bit of
gumption, and the spectacularly entertaining backyard science that's the Rocket City
Redneck specialty.

Written with fellow scientist and former NASA flight controller Stephanie Osborn.
