In order to excel in rocket building, Homer realized that he had to befriend people who knew more about them than he did, and he did this by speaking to Quentin. Another mistake that Homer made throughout his journey was shooting the rocket toward the mine, making his father very angry. Some mistakes that Homer made along the way were blowing up his mother, Elsie Hickam's, fence. Homer took many necessary steps along the way such as making mistakes and befriending new people. He turned to rocket building when he realized that playing football was not for him and it was not what was going to help him to leave Coalwood. Homer's interest in rockets began when he witnessed Sputnik flying through the sky. He learned that he could become a rocket scientist if he worked hard enough toward that goal, and that was what he was set on doing. Homer began studying rockets and focusing on learning about them. Homer knew that the only way out of Coalwood was to win a college scholarship, and he realized that by making it to the National Science Fair, he would have a good chance of getting one. He realized that below ground, in the mines was not the place for him, he needed to be up, higher than everyone else. He wanted to explore space, and he wanted to build rockets. When Sputnik flew over Coalwood, Homer realized that that was what he wanted to do.
Homer applied the principle "Follow Your Heart" by realizing that he didn't want to remain in the small town of Coalwood, he wanted to explore. Homer Hickam, the main character from the movie "October Sky" is a remarkable person who applied all five high five principles to his life.
