Step into a cosy planetarium seat and watch the story of spaceflight unfold, from Sputnik in 1957 through the glorious and messy lunar landings, the building of the International Space Station and the rise of private rockets. It's an accurate historical reconstruction, so expect the triumphs, the near disasters, the clever engineering hacks and the moments that made everyone hold their breath.

Along the way you meet the people behind the helmets and the clipboards — pilots, engineers, scientists, ground crew and the odd bureaucrat who signed the launch papers. Their drive, passion and stubbornness get you closer to understanding how much courage and coffee it took to send humans into orbit and beyond, and why those early steps still look impressive even now.
