The Great Space Race

James William Thresher is a disgruntled NASA engineer of the future. A future where NASA has become nothing more than the space version of the FAA, an administrative branch of the US government. He longs to build the rockets of the future, but that will never happen at NASA, so he packs up and joins the Lassiter Brothers, maverick space ship designers ready to shape the future of human space travel.
