    CLIP DESCRIPTION:
    With the whole town watching, the Rocket Boys have their first successful launch.
    FILM DESCRIPTION:
    NASA engineer Homer H. Hickam, Jr.'s autobiography provided the basis for this drama about a teenager coming of age at the dawn of the space race. In 1957, Homer Hickam (Jake Gyllenhaal) is a high school student in Coalwood, West Virginia when the Soviet Union launches Sputnik, the first man-made satellite. While most of his friends and neighbors react with fear or distrust, Homer is instantly fascinated and begins studying everything he can find on jet and rocket design. While many of Homer's friends are puzzled by his new obsession, several new friends share his enthusiasm, and with the encouragement of his teacher (Laura Dern), Homer and his fellow "Rocket Boys" begin designing and launching their own homemade missiles. However, Homer's father (Chris Cooper) takes a dim view of his son's interest in rockets and is convinced Homer's future should be the same as his own, working in the local coal mines. October Sky mixes the drama of traditional family conflicts with a nostalgic glimpse of life in the mid-50's and a look at the earliest days of our journey into space.

      As legend has it, director Joe Johnston fed the name "Rocket Boys" into a computer anagram program. The program rearranged the letters in every way possible. One of the combinations generated was "October Sky." This became the name of the movie. It's also an interesting coincidence. Not only do "Rocket Boys" and "October Sky" contain exactly the same letters, Sputnik was launched in October, and we actually see Sputnik streaking across the October Sky in the movie!

I also saw the road to snake route and spent multiple weeks jn war helping out down there. Absolutely stunningly beautiful landscape. Unfortunately war is named correctly. Pretty damn dangerous spot. I used to have to escort women around the town there in case anyone tried anything.

    Have to imagine they really tested that match-strike mechanism very thoroughly. Not only could it's malfunction be embarrassing in a situation like this, it could actually be dangerous. If the rocket doesn't launch, they wouldn't know if it was because that mechanism malfunctioned or if the rocket is still fizzling and could still explode. I've heard from many sources that explosives (which they were treating the rockets as given how many blew up) which don't go off when they're supposed to are an explosive technician's worst nightmare.

    • @berryreading4809
      @berryreading4809 2 года назад

      They probably had a slightly better setup... maybe multiple matches, possibly a small booster pouch of black powder at the base of the fuse... or they simply used slow burn fuse and actually just hand lit it... they did live in a mining town after all, all kinds of fuse types and guaranteed ignition sources available, then looks like they eventually used low yield blasting caps or homemade electric matches 🤔 also old school basic kitchen style strike anywhere matches were *much* better quality than the safety first junk wood kitchen matches available today 🙄 (I'm only speculating on all this, I haven't read the book that the movie was based on, which is apparently very detailed, I really need to buy a copy!) 👍

    • @quillmaurer6563
      @quillmaurer6563 2 года назад

      @@berryreading4809 Good point, likely this setup was just what the movie makers depicted that wasn't necessarily realistic to what the kids actually used. Indeed, there'd be no shortage of knowledge on how to set off pyrotechnic devices safely and from a safe distance. Earlier in the movie they used simple manually-lit fuses, at the end they used an electronic igniter similar in concept to modern hobby rocket launch controllers (presumably with some sort of electric match). As those two are the most obvious approaches, and this appears both more complicated and less reliable than either, I could imagine in reality they likely just went straight from manually-lit fuses to electronic. Perhaps the movie makers were wanting to show a "progression" from manual fuses to this to electric, even if this was both historically inaccurate and nonsensical.
      I actually did read the book, I believe when I was in 7th grade. I recall that I really liked it, but can't remember much details for things like this, if they even mentioned it at all. From what I recall the book went into more detail overall, but more on the storytelling, what was going through his head, his dating life (which the movie briefly acknowledged but mostly glossed over), in a lot of ways a coming-of-age story. I don't recall it going into much more technical detail than the movie did. The only major technical aspects I recall it mentioning were his debate over whether to melt "rocket candy," which he thought would make effective well-bound fuel, but could be a rather dangerous endeavor, eventually deciding to go for it. The movie depicted them doing so, but didn't go into his thought process on weighing the risks. The other thing I recall it making some technical mention of was an attempted thrust-measuring rig, which malfunctioned and pounded the bathroom scale to pieces. There were a few other differences, the movie over-dramatizing some scenes - particularly the part where the boys were arrested for setting a fire which they eventually concluded was caused by an aerial flare rather than their own rocket. The incident happened in the book, but the boys weren't arrested, I don't think even accused, it was figured out pretty much right away that it wasn't their rocket.
