How about on Boothes bureau behind his desk in later seasons of Bones? Not sure what the rocket is.
They repeated an episode of Scorpion tonight with a "$15 million" rocket launch Walter did to send his sister's ashes up to the stars:
Just watched Owl City's "Beautiful Times" video, and I think I spotted a classic Estes rocket floating around the kid in the video a couple of times. Looks to be a 3 FNC but I couldn't make out the exact model.

In a recent episode of Big Bang Theory Howard digs out several boxes of model rockets from his youth. He is looking for something he can do with his yet unborn son. He finds an unbuilt Estes Saturn V. Near the end of the episode they go out to launch it and it explodes. It bothers me that they show model rockets exploding as I am sure this does not endear the hobby to parents who know nothing about rocketry.
There was a scene in the movie Star Trek: Generations where the villian Soran launches a rocket into a star to cause its collapse. This was actually a practical effects scene using a custom Public Missiles rocket model and an Aerotech K motor.
Ah! I somehow missed the previous posts on this thread but I'm glad to see it finally.
I think I posted about this in a separate thread but, just in case not, here's a condensed version.
In May of last year, our local NAR chapter (SoAR, #571) was contacted by reps from the TV show "Halt & Catch Fire". They were looking to include some model rocket launches in an upcoming episode and realized quickly that they didn't have the expertise to pull it off. To make a long story short, several of our club members met up at their studio for a couple of group-build sessions.
They wanted to launch 5 rockets at once, drag-race style, using "period correct...ish" rockets and controllers. Knowing that they would likely need to shoot the scene more than once, they decided 4 of each rocket would be enough and it was...barely.
A few weeks after the build sessions, a few of us were invited to the set on the day they were going to film the launches. Since the rockets were finished and we had given them lots of technical advice on how/where to set everything up and launch the rockets, I had thought we would be there just to sit back and enjoy the views. I was wrong. They put us to work and, for a day, the three of us were actual crew members on the set of a real TV show.
The experience was just amazing on so many levels and I wouldn't hesitate to do it all again. The episode aired on Sept. 22nd of last year.
If you go to Google images and enter the search string "halt catch fire connection is made", you'll find several pics from the set as well as some directly from the episode.
here's one to get you started: https://goo.gl/images/vx5xY1
It never shot a rocket, just fireworks. It was used in the first episode.Well, I watched both, so could be. However the Batmobile was indeed supposed to have rocket launch tubes.

Cant be sure if they did use them in an episode, but by contract it was supposed to have the capability to fire rockets upwards. Contract says straight up, car's tubes were angled, contract writers not necessarily great fantasy car designers ..
I *know* this is an ancient thread and all... and I don't know if anyone else has ever spotted this... (I did a search or two here....) But I started watching the tube yesterday afternoon and during the opening sceen of "The Naked Gun", when the cop car is driving all over the road and thru bowling alleys and people's houses I spotted something just for an instant.... and thanks to contemporary DVR technology... I got this:As an aside, there's the curious case of the Tripoli Rocketry Association credit in The Naked Gun.

So who actually built the rockets? Was it your club or people from the prop department? I assume they brought the actors in to shoot a few scenes where they pretended to build something. Anyway, it sounds really interesting.

However it looks like an Estes Phoenix to me!
I don’t see it.
