Description

Brazil's first manned space launch goes horribly wrong. The boosters sputter, and fail. The world holds its breath, expecting the rocket to plummet to earth. But it doesn't, It shoots into orbit-with no boosters, seemingly no propulsion at all. Impossible... but the world saw it happen. Now the world wants to know how it was done..
