October Sky is my favorite movie. I may only be a child, but the movie has such an inspiration to all viewers. It made me want to follow my dream, just as Homer did. Homer is very successful, and it's all because he would not let anyone stop him. I want to be a scientist, or a singer. Being a singer is the back-up plan. After watching the movie, It made all my doubts go away, and I have gotten straight A's in science. Thank you, Homer. I owe my gratitude, to you, I love you! Thanks! !~Chelsea (:

@ZiggyHuttinga so i think he made the first rocket to go to the moon in 1962 ?

To be realistic this video should be called "Homer Hickam Talks" as there is no launch shown.

[jazzzz1066]

Should be called "Homer Hickam Talks" since he doesn't launch anything in this video.

@juandavido No, but he worked for them.

I'm watching October Sky right... awesome movie, awesome person, to dream big when the world around him was against him... I know personally what that's like, to dream to be in the sky is not one that will just come to a person easily
