Tim Pickens Rocket Bike

Tim takes a ride on the rocket bike.

Welcome

Hey y’all! Welcome to TimPickens dot com. I work on rocket and space technology for a living in Huntsville, Alabama.

Part of my day job as commercial space advisor and chief propulsion engineer at Dynetics is being team leader of the Rocket City Space Pioneers, going after the Google Lunar X Prize. How cool is that?

After hours and on weekends I’m usually in the Man Cave inventing and building things just for fun and the challenge. That’s what Tim Pickens dot com is about. A place to show old projects and tell about the new ones.

Watch out for rocket bikes, rocket trucks, jet scooters, rocket belts and maybe a flying saucer.
