Mr. Hickham is an inspiration to all of us who don't come from privileged backgrounds but who have dreams of bigger things. He is so encouraging of others and genuine in who he is. Well done Homer.
What a great person. His accomplishments are fantastic but also the philosophies he lives by,"keep your families together".....so sad what the world has become.
What about Miss Riley? No mention of her. You owe it to her for believing and supporting you which gave you the inspiration and motivation to your success.
Now with 3D printers high schoolers are more capable than ever of making a rocket. Only question would be if the metal filament would have the strength, flexibility, and heat resistance to handle the forces.
Homer Hickam was the reason i wanted to be an engineer in the first place. Truly an inspiring person.

Awesome find! :D
I think that's why I loved the movie so much. Great things came from simple, hardworking people.
Great movie, a classic! Homer Hickam looks like Will Farrell.
The joy exuded by this man as he describes his love of rockets.
October Sky is my favorite movie. I cry every time I watch it. It reminds me of my family up Cabin Creek in Eskdale.
A very honourable man. A wonderful story. I loved the movie.

Homer, thank you for all you do for our country. I lived in Caretta and have been to Coalwood many times. My dad worked for Olga Coal Co.
God, I loved that movie, I watched it more than once.
God bless Coalwood and the Rocket Boys.
Emotional story with emotional music. I had a similar father
I read the book before seeing the movie. Both were fantastic 👍
One of the greatest movies...
