Erin and Brennan shoot off rockets and hope they don't become missiles. Or explode. Both would be bad. We watch October Sky starring baby Jake Gyllenhaal, Chris Cooper (a man out of time), and Laura Dern (our favorite teacher, Captain Pew Pew!). We revisit memories of putting washers on rockets, Sputnik conspiracies, JPL movies, and TEACHERS SHOULD BE APPRECIATED MORE! Did we mention that Brennan is a teacher? Well, he is. But let's not forget that the hero of our main character was a Nazi. Just putting that out there.
