It seems that the woman early in the movie is always called Dorothy, and the hero's secret love is Dorothy. The male protagonist had to give up his dream to take on the burden of the family and drop out of school to mine, which is so miserable. Many talents have been buried. His father is an old stubborn with backward thinking, who almost ruined a good son, so it is not necessary for children to listen to their parents, and it is best to stick to their dreams. In the end, the male protagonist won the first prize at the National Science and Technology Expo, which is very exciting. The four rocket boys finally went to college, and Homer's father also came to see him launch the last rocket. The two made an understanding and their love went well. A girl who is still by her side in difficult times. Dorothy was the kind of simple-minded girl who liked the football captain, who left and liked Homer and his brother. Except for Mr. Riley, who was seriously ill, everything went well. Quentin became a chemical engineer for the petroleum industry, Roy Lee became a car dealer and banker, O'Dell became a rancher and owned an insurance company. Freida Riley died of Hodkin's lymphoma at age 31. Homer Hickam became a NASA engineer and planned astronauts for the Space Shuttle mission.

When I watched it today, I just remembered that I watched it in the weekend theater of the Central Set in junior high school. Jake Gyllenhaal was still a young lady at that time, ahaha

Homer: [Reading the newspaper aloud] "The silvery cylinder burst forth in a fiery column of smoke and flame, racing the very wind as it soared into the sky, a messenger of these Rocket Boys of Big Creek.
[Chuckling]
Homer: These boys use their brains, not brawn, who play not football, but with Apollo's fire."
O'Dell: [Chuckles]
Dorothy Platt: [Walks up to Homer, elated] Hi Homer.
Homer: [Quietly] Hi Dorothy.
