Panic ensued
as images of blood spraying the white cabin walls of Space Shuttle Atlantis
flashed across television screens worldwide.
- - An accident teeters on the brink of disaster when the Achilles
heel of Atlantis - a single point of failure - has been damaged after servicing
the Hubble telescope.
Scott Brossfield, a RFID software programmer, is reluctantly
dragged into single-handedly rescuing the stranded space shuttle Atlantis. His
motives are not noble. He wants to get his mother's blood treated utilizing
a newly discovered zero-gravity stem cell cancer cure.
NASA Flight Director Glen Mins must deal with a powerful,
self-interested politician who is running for President.
Senator Graff holds the strings controlling NASA's funding,
and the stranded shuttle now threatens his candidacy.
To save the crew, Glen works with, and then fights the
Senator to authorize increasingly desperate rescue attempts.
With only a few hours left for the shuttle crew, Scott, a
NASA outsider with an almost impossible idea, suggests a risky
plan that has never before been considered and perhaps should
not now.
In a thrilling race against the clock, and no other options
remaining, NASA reluctantly agrees to Scott’s rescue plan. The
rescue could doom the Senator, and the manned space program,
along with Scott and his mother.
Is this a deal with a devil, or a hero? In a surprise
ending, no one will know until it's too late to turn back.
