Rockets & Alligators with Homer Hickam
Manage episode 406374033 series 2486304
With SpaceX and NASA combining to explore the cosmos like never before, my guest Homer Hickam is the person who inspired it all. The award-winning author of “Rocket Boys,” a memoir of his life, was turned into the hit film “October Sky.” Due to his rocket accomplishments he was invited to meet President Kennedy. During the meeting, he personally introduced the importance of exploring the moon to him.
Now, what many are calling a prequel to his life, Homer delivers an epic tale, called: “Carrying Albert Home,” that takes us on a wild adventure that can best be summed up as a story of kismet.
