"October Sky" is one of my favorite movies. Although I must admit that I now get angry while watching it since it is about an America that no longer exists.
If Homer grew up in police state Amerika 2005, here's how things would have played out:
He would have been taken from his parents since dad put him to work in the coal mines.
He'd have been put on Ritalin for being "too active".
If he launched a rocket (or even brought one to school), he would get expelled, and possibly even get a visit from the BATFags.
His teacher would have been arrested for encouring him to shoot rockets up into the sky.

If you haven’t. Read the book. It’s much better than the movie.
For one thing it shows his Father in a much better light. Not like the mean man the movie makes him out to be.

Thanks for the heads-up! I loved the movie, and since I get NASA TV, I'll be sure to record it.
