When his dad died texan Charles Farmer left the Air Force to get a man to rescue your family ranch. Like American ranchers, he owes his bank. He's an astrophysicist using a rocket in his barn - one he's assembled and wants to consider space. It's his fantasy. The FBI sets him under surveillance when he attempts to buy rocket fuel, and also he is stalled by the FAA if he files a flight plan -- but Charles is undeterred.
