Completely tangential to GR, but still...

[Daniel Callahan]

Has anyone else had a chance to see "Rocket Boys", the
mostly biographical film of Homer Hickman, Jr.?  Two
items of interest to the P. reader.  One is that von
Braun appears as a 'good guy' (no mention made of his
pre-American CV); second is the triumphant launch of
Hickman's final homemade rocket.

Of course, everyone in the film is overjoyed and
cheering to see this thing go off, and I can't help
but think of the P. in two ways: one, a contrail like
that... does it promote sha?  two, the opening lines
of GR.

Did anyone else get that Pychonesque creepy feeling
about this flick?

Daniel.
