    Synopsis

    The hot phase of space tourism has begun. Tourist agencies like “Space Adventures” and “Pro Toura” already offer everything the hearts of daring tourists desire, from astronaut training in space camps to zero-gravity flights all the way to flight into space. To boost the development of private transport systems for tourists, the so-called “X Prize” was offered in the USA. The first company to take passengers into space and bring them back to the Earth wins 10 million dollars. The film displays the struggle for this price.
