* Really, The Rocket Boys journey throughout the film is inspiring. They all had accepted their future working in the mines like their fathers before them, but Homer's aspiration rubbed off on them to dare to dream bigger than that. Despite the many testing and hardships, they all equally put in the effort to succeed for the group. This determination earned them the respect of not only their school, but the whole town as well, as nearly everyone who could showed up to celebrate their final rocket, as the boys get set to go to college.
