October Sky video viewing and after activities
The film October Sky (1999) is adapted from "Big Creek Missile Agency" and Rocket Boys: A Memoir, by Homer Hickam Jr. They tell the heart-touching story of growing up in a rural West Virginia mining town in the late 1950’s, and boyhood friends’ pursuit of amateur rocketry. History changed on October 4, 1957, when the Soviet Union successfully launched Sputnik, the world's first artificial satellite. That launch ushered in the start of the space age while the coal industrial declined and the teen

INTRODUCTION
Most of us love the dear old Earth – in fact we’re quite attracted to it. That attraction arises from the Earth’s large mass and thus the Earth’s pull of gravity. When we lift a book away from the center of dear old Earth, we do work on that book. We do work because we must counteract the book’s attraction to the Earth in the process. We do work by applying a force over a distance. What does that do for us? Well, it tires us. The book, however, gets energy out of the deal. Any
