Comments: A hopeful astronaut is kicked out of the running when his father dies. Ever since the space race of the '60s, he has wanted to visit space. With the support of his family, this middle-aged man designs and builds a rocket on his south Texas ranch. The question is will the bank take his land before he can launch or will the FAA ground him? Or maybe, just maybe, his dreams will come true: he will orbit the Earth.

This is an inspirational film. Its enthusiasm harkens back to the Apollo program. The individual courage reminds me of the astronauts of this program. Highly recommended.
