Trigonometry is beyond fun! I am not a genius but miss maths đ˘
Great movie
S = Ut + at^2/2. V^2 = U^2 + 2aS. ( real units, not American units) I have used it occasionally for 50 years.
Even Bullet Head was paying attention…đ đ
The kid in the future help in the space shuttle program
Love this movie
Through four different schools, I watched this movie seven separate times in seven separate classes, loved it every time â¤ď¸
Great movie!
YESSSS October Sky has hit the algorithm!
this movie is called âOctober Skyâ which is actually based off of a book called âRocket boysâ
Which was an autobiography of the characters in this movie.
âOctober Skyâ is an anagram for âRocket Boysâ
Thanks to Mr. John Gallagher for teaching me that fact back in his UW astronomy class
An excellent movie!!!
FARKUS !
Vav = Aavât? But wouldn't Vav = d/t make more sense?
Bulletheadđ
Great movie. Still cry every time I watch it after his dad comes to his launch
I remember the premier was in Huntsville, AL, known as The Rocket City, because a) thatâs where Homer Hickham worked and b) it was the beginning of the space program. Had LBJ not taken over and moved everything to Texas, thatâs where everybody would be thinking of when they talk about NASA. I never realized how backward Alabama was because I grew up around the people of Huntsville and Madison County.
He proved he didnât start the fire. Why the hell does he have to do the copsâ job and tell him what did start the fire?
I've seen the movie this is from (October Sky), I've read the book it was based on (Rocket Boys, by Homer Hickam Jr.). This was one of the biggest conflicts in the movie, it lead to the suspension of the Rocket club and Homer having to work in the mines. In the book, there was a forest fire that they were suspected of causing but it was resolved within a couple hours and they were let off the hook without consequence because it was immediately determined to not be their faults. They dragged it out in the movie. Homer spent exactly 1 day in the mines, and it was only for his dad (who was one of the main foremen) to show him what kind of engineering they do down in the mines since he was on track to learning engineering, sprinkled with an attempt to encourage him to want to work for the mine. This made his mother furious because she saw how the mine was destroying her husband and the town as a whole and insisted neither of her boys work for the mine.
Ryan started the fire
