Default Birmingham Rocket Boys Jack's Resturant commercial

A couple of months ago our local rocketry club, the Birmingham Rocket Boys (and girls) NAR 665 assisted in making the new Jack's commercial that came out today. It features a “Der Red Max” rocket built by members of our local rocketry club, Ron Dunn and Craig Brooks. I was there to get a few photos for club publicity and to be a third RSO. Craig’s wife Christina got a ton of photos and she was a big help too!

We had to sit on this until after the commercial was officially released so we’re all pretty excited to finally see it out there. I’ll post a few of the photos I took on our website, the BRB website and all appropriate Facebook pages as soon as I can get a few minutes to do so.

On a side note, most of you know I have been involved with rocketry in local schools every year going back to 1992, Verna since 2004, and with a personal, special emphasis, on seeing women and girls encouraged to toward aerospace and engineering.

As the author of a sci-fi series where the main character and many of the main supporting characters are female, when I learned the commercial was to feature a young girl and her mom out flying rockets together that, put it over the top for me.

Click the first one on the list to see the full commercial. - 30 seconds
