October Sky Page #3
mining town in West Virginia.
Ignition.
Liftoff. Liftoff.
I'm writing to offer
my condolences to you
and your team...
on your recent attempt
to launch the Vanguard rocket.
I also had a disastrous
occurrence during the launch
of my own small rocket.
Since here in Coalwood,
everyone's much more
interested...
in what's down below the earth
than what's above it,
there isn't a whole lot
of material to be found
on the subject of rocketry.
So I've been kind of stumbling
around in the dark.
[music]Don't you give me
no dirty look [music]
[music] Your father's hip
[music]Just tell your hoodlum
friend outside [music]
[music] You ain't got time
to take a ride [music]
[music] Yakety yak
Don't talk back [music]
[music] Yakety yak, yakety yak [music]
You can't be seen
with him, Homer.
[Roy Lee]
He's a weirdo.
You go ahead,
but you can kiss
your social life good-bye.
Hi, Homer.
Hi.
I don't let anybody
copy my homework.
I don't wanna copy
your homework.
Um,
do you know anything
about rockets?
Of course I do.
Uh, you wanna come with me
over to the library?
No.
[Students Murmuring]
What do you wanna know
about rockets?
Everything.
Well, rocketry was actually
invented by the Chinese
as early as 1,000 A.D.
And, supposedly,
they were quite sophisticated.
[Chattering Continues]
Potassium chlorate and sulphur.
Uh, well,
what'd you use?
Uh, somethin' like that.
[Homer]
Hey, Quentin, this is great.
This is exactly... We have
everything we need in here.
Roy Lee,
drive me to my house.
We can use my basement.
Yeah, at least nobody'll
see us down there.
Go, go, go.
[Engine Turning Over]
Come on.
[Quentin]
You hear that?
The butterfly valve
isn't closin' all the way.
Uh, last year I built
an internal combustion engine...
and entered it
in the science fair.
Yeah, well, you wouldn't happen
to have it on you, would you?
[music] Gonna find her [music]
[music] Gonna find her [music]
[music] Gonna find her [music]
[music] Gonna find her [music]
[music] Yeah [music]
[music]I've been searchin'[music]
[music] Uh, I'm searchin'[music]
[music] Oh, yeah, searchin'[music]
[music]Every which way [music]
Ow!
[music] Oh, yeah [music]
I'm sorry.
[music]Searchin'[music]
[music]I'm searchin'[music]
You missed a spot.
[music]Searchin'every which way [music]
[music]But I'm like that... [music]
This thing's startin'
to look like a rocket.
Listen to this.
"Weld the washer
to the base of the rocket body,
creating a combustion chamber
and nozzle."
We don't know how to weld.
Weld.
Homer,
your brother's in metal shop.
Maybe he could, uh...
