Amateurs in Space plot

By today's standards, the US space program Apollo would have cost about $100 billion; at its peak, approximately 400,000 people took part. Danish friends Peter Madsen and Kristian von Bengtson dream of building a do-it-yourself rocket for a fraction of that amount and a minimal number of employees and making the first amateur flight into space. Madsen has the honor of following in Neil Armstrong's footsteps. The chance of success is comparable to that of an amateur club to win the Champions League. With quite a bit of technical knowledge and an adventurous spirit, the two start the insane venture.
