The Story

Charlie Fairbanks is born in the middle of the United States in the dead center of the 20th century. The Space Race between America and Russia is at its peak, with Russia taking the early lead by sending out the first artificial satellite and the first man to space. America aims to be the first country to make the next breakthrough in the ongoing Space Race: to send humans to the Moon. Charlie Fairbanks is certain that he is going to be one of the first ones to land on the moon. As he turns his focus on the Moon, however, a much darker side of the United States’ history is illuminated. Join Charlie and America’s journey to edge out Russia in the race to the moon!
