Plot
Storyline
Three men are assigned by the Office of Scientific Investigation to man rocket ships to outer space and attempt to capture a meteor.
In the mid-1950's, American scientists determine that they require metal from meteors if they are to build spacecraft that can withstand the rigors of space travel. To that end they recruit 12 scientists and ask them to undergo a series of tests. The men don't quite know exactly what they are being tested for but in the end, three are selected to go into space. The mission is a success, but not all will return.
