There are many changes between the book and the movie, some are minor (like hair color), here are a few: In the book, Homer gets the autograph picture of Von Braun for Christmas. In the movie, he gets the picture for his birthday along with a chocolate bar. In the book, Homer is 14. In the movie, he is 17. Some of the characters in the book do not appear in the movie. For example, Sherman Siers from the book does not appear in the film. Jimmie O'Dell Caroll and Sherman Siers from the book story are combined into one character: Sherman O'Dell. In the book, Homer's father's name is Homer Hickam Sr. In the film, it is John Hickam.
