Although gravity keeps our feet firmly planted, some defy earthly forces at all costs. Who are the ones who dreamed of high-flying adventures? Over the course of a decade, the Apollo programs mobilise all resources to send man to the Moon. But this giant leap for mankind couldn't have happened without the first Apollo astronauts who face incredible odds and extreme danger to move science forward. For one little girl with an adventurous spirit, rules and records are made to be broken. Amelia Earhart dominates the male-driven world of flying, but risks life and limb along the way. And for Austrian tailor Franz Reichelt, seams and stitches promise an entry into the exciting world of aviation. Though history remembers his failure, he leaves his tick on the timeline of parachute innovation.
