Discuss Rocket Boys by Homer H. Hickam. 

In a town where the only things that mattered were coal mining and high-school football, where the future was regarded with more fear than hope, a young man watched the Soviet Satellite, Sputnik, race across the West Virginia sky and soon found his future in the stars. In 1957, Homer H. "Sonny" Hickam, Jr., and a handful of his friends were inspired to start designing and launching the homemade rockets that would change their lives and their town forever.
