One of the most powerful elements present in the ending of
the memoir is how it showed the post- "Rocket Boys" life of each. All of them had gone
to college and wound up doing something that was outside the traditional path of boys
from Coalwood. We learn early on that some few chosen ones from Coalwood go to college
or university on football scholarship, while the vast majority go and work in the
mine. The Rocket Boys forged a different path with college educations and some type of
professional job afterwards. Insurance salesman, business owners, or Homer joining NASA
and training astronauts all reveal paths that were taken where dreams were pursued and
education being a vital part of this process.
