| Logline: |
A washed-up astrophysicist decides, against all logic and common sense, to build a homemade rocket and launch it into orbit to rescue his cousin who’s stranded in space. The underdogs rediscover purpose, family, and pride as a wildly ill-advised backyard mission becomes a scrappy movement that eventually captures the imagination of the entire nation. His farm is transformed into the promised land for misfits, drifters, rocket junkies, pyromaniacs, dreamers, science nerds, and astro-hippies who still believe that the future of America is in space. But it won’t be easy. Chances are good they’ll blow themselves up, get arrested, or kill each other long before they ever get into orbit. |
