This is a beautiful movie. It brings tears to my eyes each time I watch it. No one could stop this man from achieving his dream. With family support and a courageous mind to guide him, he hammered through all the tribulations he faced from friends, the media and government. Don't let anyone poison your dreams. It takes hard work and dedication to make your dream a reality.

I show this film to my physics and earth science students to encourage them to make their dreams reality. Anyone can design and build a rocket in his/her barn!

Great just great, we need dreamers in our world now. To dream up ways to have peace on earth, and no sickness! We would all be so greatful to the inventor !
