Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. "Coal mining is your life, not mine. I'm never going down there again. I'm gonna go into space."

Answer: Homer

When Homer and Quentin went out to find the missing rocket, he missed work, and his father confronted him later that day, telling him that he would have to work the "night owl" shift. And that was when Homer said, "Coal mining is your life, not mine. I'm never going down there again. I'm gonna go into space."
2. "If you don't, I'll leave you. I'll find work. I'll do whatever it takes to get away from here. I'll live in a tree to get away from you. Don't you think I won't."

Answer: Elsie

Mr. Bolden needed to get into the machine shop so that he could help Homer, whose rocket supplies were stolen at the National Science Fair. But in order for Mr. Bolden to get into the machine shop, the miners' strike had to end, so Elsie went down to talk to her husband about it.

She convinced him by saying that she would leave him if he didn't do anything about the strike. He asked where she would go, and she replied, "Myrtle Beach."
3. "That's a great idea. Four unidentifiable high school students lost their lives early this morning when their toy rocket exploded."

Answer: O'Dell

The rocket boys couldn't seem to get their rockets to stop blowing up. Quentin concluded that they needed to get some other liquid to use, and Roy Lee suggested gasoline. This is when O'Dell said this line, as if quoting a newspaper. After this line, Homer suggested alcohol.
4. "Prodigenous!"

Answer: Roy Lee

Quentin had a favorite saying, "Prodigious." Roy Lee caught on to this phrase and wanted to copy it, but instead, he said, "Prodigenous."
5. "I heard you met your big hero. Didn't even know it."

Answer: John

When Homer came back from the National Science Fair, he made a trip to the mine and told his father that they were shooting off their last rocket that day. When he was walking away, his father said this line, and Homer explained that Dr. Von Braun wasn't his real hero.
6. "I don't know why they'd drop a bomb on this place. It'd be a heck of a waste of a bomb."

Answer: Roy Lee

Everyone was out in Homer's front lawn waiting to see Sputnik. When they finally did, someone said that they would be "dropping bombs on us from up there," which is when Roy Lee said, "I don't know why they'd drop a bomb on this place. It'd be a heck of a waste of a bomb."
7. "There are easier ways to commit suicide, Homer."

Answer: O'Dell

The three boys (Homer, Roy Lee, and O'Dell) headed off to football try-outs. Apparently, they knew that Homer wouldn't do so well, so O'Dell said, "There are easier ways to commit suicide," referring to his upcoming failure at football try-outs.
8. "What do you want to know about rockets?"

Answer: Quentin

Homer approached Quentin at lunch. He asked if Quentin knew anything about rockets, and Quentin answered, "What do you want to know about rockets?"
9. "You know, it won't fly unless someone pushes the button. It's yours if you want it."

Answer: Homer

Homer was surprised when his father showed up for his last rocket launching. John came forward, and Homer offered him the chance to fly it himself, which is when Homer delivered this line.
10. "Look at it go, Homer. This one's gonna go for miles."

Answer: Quentin

Homer's father launched the last rocket, named Miss Riley, and it flew into the sky. Quentin then delivered this line.
