▶ Listen to a sample
Lieutenant Anthony Fishburn is preparing for the first manned orbital test of a radical new rocket—one without glory, press, or second chances. As tensions rise within the covert launch team and death looms as a likely outcome, The Astronauts explores the quiet courage behind spaceflight’s early days. A grounded, character-driven story of sacrifice, trust, and the psychological toll of reaching beyond Earth before history is watching.
