The first nuclear-powered rocket, Sunfire One, is sent into space with the first British astronaut, Dick Larch, on board.

Quist is asked by Doctor Goldsworthy to determine whether Larch is suitable for any further missions, as another such mistake could result in the spacecraft becoming a nuclear bomb.
