- Why don't you let the boy defend himself? - And in the second place...
this rocket proves nothing.
You've already admitted having lost a number of your rockets.
You cannot prove conclusively that another one of them didn't start that fire.
Yes, I can.
Are we to conclude, Mr. Hickam, that since leaving school,
you've not only become an expert in rocket science,
but in the field of trigonometry?
- I didn't say that... - Obviously, you learned more...
in the coal mines than you did in high school.
Let the boy talk. Go ahead, Homer.
And that fire was near Welch, just under three miles from our launchpad.
And at the time of the fire, the best that we could do was one point two miles.
which is exactly where we found that rocket, Mr. Turner.
See, Mr. Turner, that rocket fell for about fourteen seconds,
which means that it flew to an altitude of three thousand feet
according to the equation, "S" equals one-half "A", "T" squared
where "S" is the altitude, "A" is the gravity constant thirty two
and "T" is the time it took for that rocket to come back down.
- Velocity equals... - Get him... get him.
Are you following this, Mr. Turner?
All right, we're all duly impressed.
But do you mind telling me, if you did not start that fire, who did?
What is it?
Whatever it is, it's ingenious. The fins are spring-loaded.
That isn't a rocket at all.
It's an aeronautical flare.
There's an airport here in Welch, right above where the fire started.
Mr. Hickam, report to my office as soon as we return to school.
You do intend to enter the county science fair, do you not?
Yes, sir, we do.
Well, if you intend to represent Big Creek,
you're gonna have to be enrolled as a student at Big Creek.
