which is exactly where
we found that rocket.

1:16:06
See, that rocket fell
for about 14 seconds, which means...

1:16:09
that it flew to an altitude
of 3,000 feet...

1:16:12
according to the equation...
1:16:13
"S" equals one-half "A-T" squared...
1:16:18
where "S" is the altitude,
"A" is the gravity constant, or 32...

1:16:21
and "T" is the time it took
for that rocket to come back down.

1:16:24
- Velocity equals acceleration...
- Get him, Homer.

1:16:26
times time.
1:16:27
Are you following this, Mr. Turner?
1:16:30
All right.
We're all duly impressed.

1:16:33
Would you mind telling me
if you did not start that fire, who did?

1:16:39
What is it?
1:16:41
Whatever it is, it's ingenious.
The fins are spring-loaded.

1:16:46
That isn't a rocket at all.
It's an aeronautical flare.

1:16:52
There's an airport here in Welch.
1:16:54
It's right above where
the fire started.

1:17:06
Mr. Hickam, report to my office
as soon as we return to school.

1:17:11
You do intend to enter
the county science fair, do you not?

1:17:14
Yes, sir, we do.
1:17:16
If you intend
to represent Big Creek...

1:17:19
you're going to have to be enrolled
as a student at Big Creek.

1:17:25
"Prodigenous."
1:17:30
Do you think you can draw well enough
so Mr. Bolden could build it?

1:17:33
Yep. Let me see.
1:17:35
Yep.
1:17:37
Hi, Dad.
1:17:39
- What's this stuff doin' here?
- We didn't start the fire.

1:17:42
The troopers gave it back to us.
1:17:44
It wasn't even one of our rockets.
1:17:46
Y'all go on home now.
1:17:49
Yes, sir.
