Space will never be the same.

Frank Corvin, ‘Hawk’ Hawkins, Jerry O'Neill and ‘Tank’ Sullivan were hotdog members of Project Daedalus, the Air Force's test program for space travel, but their hopes were dashed in 1958 with the formation of NASA and the use of trained chimps. They blackmail their way into orbit when Russia's mysterious ‘Ikon’ communications satellite's orbit begins to degrade and threatens to crash to Earth.

Germany German (Deutsch)

Ein alter russischer Kommunikationssatellit droht aus der Atmosphäre in bewohntes Gebiet zu stürzen. Da die Technik dafür von dem Ingenieur Frank Corvin entwickelt wurde, muß er dafür herhalten, das Gerät wieder zu reparieren. Nur ist Corvin inzwischen ein alter Mann, der sich damals in den Fünfzigern Hoffnungen machte, als erste Crew ins Weltall zu starten. Doch das Projekt wurde abgeblasen. Corvin sagt zu, doch er legt Wert auf seine alte Crew, die inzwischen alle andere Jobs haben. In knapp dreißig Tagen müssen die alten Männer ein Weltraumtraining absolvieren, das für dreißig Jahre jüngere gemacht ist. Dann kommt der Tag der Entscheidung: der Start ins All...

En 1958, les astronautes Frank Corvin, Hawk Hawkins, Jerry O'Neill et Tank Sullivan se préparent pour une mission spatiale mais au dernier moment, la NASA leur préfère un singe. 42 ans plus tard, le satellite russe de communication Ikon menace de s’écraser sur la Terre. Corvin est le seul homme capable de maîtriser l'antique système de guidage, calqué sur celui qu'il avait conçu quelques décennies plus tôt pour Skylab. Il accepte la mission, à condition que ses 3 compagnons partent avec lui…
