When the world's first spaceship is close to its goal (Mars), the TV network GNN begins its live coverage of the last two hours of the mission, and then the problems start. The landing computer malfunctions; Captain Eugene T. Slader gets very sick; and back on Earth, it is discovered that big financial corporations have an interest in the failure of the mission - and we, the viewers, can see it all live on television.
