"October Sky" was a terrific movie, one of the few "adult" movies I can play and enjoy with no embarrassment with my kids.
BTW, Homer is also a military history buff. He wrote Torpedo Junction, a rather depressing but still inspiring story of the war against the U-Boats off the S.E. U.S. coast at the beginning of WWII.

I got to meet Homer when he and a mutual friend sailed on my boat for about a week. Homer also used to dive on sunken German submarines and write articles about it in Skin Diver Magazine. Homer was also a tank platoon leader in Vietnam. Really a super guy.
