Liftoff. Liftoff.
:11:04
I'm writing to offer my condolences
to you and your team...
:11:06
on your recent attempt
to launch the Vanguard rocket.
:11:11
I also had a disastrous occurrence
during the launch of my small rocket.
:11:20
Since here in Coalwood
everyone's much more interested...
:11:22
in what's down below the earth
than what's above it...
:11:25
there isn't a whole lot of material
to be found on the subject of rocketry.
:11:29
So I've been kind of stumbling
around in the dark.
:11:49
You can't be seen with him, Homer.
:11:51
He's a weirdo. You go ahead...
:11:54
but you can kiss
your social life good-bye.
:12:01
- Hi, Homer.
- Hi.
:12:15
I don't let anybody
copy my homework.
:12:18
I don't wanna copy
your homework.
:12:23
Do you know anything
about rockets?
:12:25
Of course I do.
:12:27
You wanna come with me
over to the library?
:12:30
No.
:12:47
What do you wanna know
about rockets?
:12:50
Everything.
:12:54
Well, rocketry was actually invented
by the Chinese as early as 1,000 A.D.
:12:59
And, supposedly,
they were quite sophisticated.
