Description
A meteorite impact in 1952 sets off a chain of events that will determine humanity's future. As the climate cataclysm draws near, a massive effort to colonize space is launched, requiring a significant share of humanity's resources and participation. Elma York, a skilled pilot and mathematician, finds herself at the forefront of this endeavour as part of the International Aerospace Coalition's mission to put man on the moon. However, with many experienced women already involved in the program, Elma begins to question why they cannot also venture into space. Her determination to become the first Lady Astronaut drives her to challenge the conventions that stand in her way. As tensions rise and societal norms are pushed to their limits, Elma's unwavering resolve propels her towards a historic achievement that will change the course of human history forever.
