As the country waits expectantly for the launch of the Space shuttle Challenger, siblings Cash, Fitch, and Bird Nelson Thomas each struggle with their own personal anxieties. Cash, who loves basketball, has a newly broken wrist, and is in danger of failing seventh grade for the second time. Fitch spends every afternoon playing Major Havoc at the arcade on Main and wrestles with an explosive temper that he doesn't understand. And Bird, his twelve-year-old twin, dreams of being NASA's first female shuttle commander, but feels like she's disappearing. The children exist in their own orbits, circling a tense and unpredictable household, with little in common except an enthusiastic science teacher named Ms Salonga. She gives them a project - they must create and complete a mission. When the fated day finally arrives, it changes all of their lives and brings them together in unexpected ways.
