Are you a rocketry genius?

Do you have a high power personality?

Do you love all things propulsive?

Does APCP make you weak in the knees?

Powderhouse Productions is casting a television reality program and we’re searching for the most outrageous, entertaining and daring amateur rocket builder in America.

The perfect host for our program will stop at nothing to build the biggest, baddest and most powerful experimental thrusters this side of Area 51.

He or she is knowledgeable about the science and the craft of rocketry and is just dying to take millions of viewers along on the ride of their lives.

Please e-mail a short casting video to Alex McHale ( This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it ) or mail DVDs to Alex at:

Oh goody. Let me guess--a team of people will build a rocket--they will fight among themselves-eventually work together--launch a rocket--it will CATO or lawn dart--and the rocketry community will look like a bunch of basement bombers. I can't wait. I love good publicity. The best part is that they get to do it over and over again. The only time that TV people want anything to do with us--is to make us look bad. Note to Len: think Master Blasters on steroids. I wonder who the "rocketry expert" will be that they con into being a show advisor.

I suggest Blackjack! He's got personality plus, and he's a real rocketeer who has been there and done that.

We don't let the mods use the website front end or read the articles. They are banished to the forums only...

I hope this is more than a single episode. I wish they would bring back the Master Blasters.

They seem real.

It's been a breathless year so far here at Powderhouse. We recently completed an 8-hour order for Science Channel (Build It Bigger) which won its night handily every time. We also delivered a high gloss, special effects laden six hour series for Discovery (Mega-Engineering) and a ten hour series for Animal Planet (Dogs 101 - another big ratings winner) As I write this, we're hot and heavy in production on a new 20 episode order for Animal Planet (top secret) as well as a second batch of Dogs 101. We've got two series pilots in production for History and a boatload of tasters, treatments, and proposals out to the market. We've also switched agencies, and are thrilled to now be repped by Creative Artists Agency (CAA), the best in the biz.

They couldn't do much worse than Myth Busters, Smash Lab, Master Blasters, or any of the others. Probably.
