He helps the others in the group research and find out scientific ways to make black powder and eventually rockets. He always uses big words and read all the books he could find on everything from math to science. Quintin is the genius in the of the BCMA.

Describes Homer growing up in the small mining town of Coalwood, West Virginia. Here's the website where you can read my full review for this movie: !/2013/07/october-sky-review.October Sky was written by Homer Hickam. What made it better is that it's based on a true story, focusing solely on Homer Hickam's life as a teenager. The storyline was fantastic, providing emotion, joyness, and sadness to appeal everyone, no matter how old you are. The rest of the cast played their part pretty well. Laura Dern is an underrated actress, and she gave a good performance since Jurassic Park. Jake Gyllenhaal delivered a memorable performance, and he stood true to his role as the NASA Engineer, Homer Hickam, Chris Cooper delivered a solid performance as John Hickam who has a lot of pride of himself. Even if it makes you hardheaded, this movie shows how taking your own advice is never a bad thing. It provides good life lessons on following your own footsteps and be ambitious of what you enjoy doing.
This is one of those movies you can't pass up and overlook. October Sky is the best inspirational drama ever made, and it's one of my favorite movies of all time.
