Reminds me of the movie "October Sky" .....
A little trivia about October Sky: that wasn't the original name of the book it was based on. I guess the title wasn't good enough for Hollywood. Can you guess what the original title was? Here's a hint: it's an anagram of "October Sky".
Btw, the words "October sky" do get uttered once in the movie, but the radio announcer while the folks are outside watching for Sputnik to pass overhead.
