When the boys go to school‚ all the other kids would constantly ostracize them because everyone knows that “the jocks are the only ones who get to go to college.” And that is because without a football scholarship “the rest of ‘em will go to work in the mines.” Homer‚ Quentin‚ Roy and O’Dell did not have a very good start with their rockets.

Tsiolkovsky was a Russian rocket scientist who was considered one of the founders of space exploration and astronautics. He published over 88 works on space travel including designs for rockets with multi-stage boosters and steering thrusters as well as airlocks and space stations. He did a great deal of study into the mechanics of powered flight and proposed the idea of all metal airships.
