Документалната поредица разглежда необикновената история на космическите совалки – първите космически кораби за многократна употреба. Замислени още преди 50 години, совалките трябвало да са нов, безопасен и евтин начин за изучаване на космоса. Със скорост 17 500 мили в час, 13 пъти по-бързи от „Конкорд“ и с топлинна изолация, която би издържала на два пъти по-висока температура от тази на лавата, совалките достигат нови висини в технологията. Човекът, който прави първия космически полет през 1981 г., Робърт Крипън, разказва как първата мисия едва не се провалила, когато част от топлинния щит на совалката отказва. Но полетът е успешен и совалките влизат в действие. С място за 8 астронавти, совалката може да носи в космоса повече оборудване и хора от всеки друг космически кораб. За пръв път в историята совалките отварят място и за жените в НАСА. Реа Седън, първата жена астронавт на совалка, споделя, че в НАСА не били подготвени за новите попълнения и трябвало да изработят специални космически костюми, които жените да използват. Но зад камерата се крие и другата истина за совалките. Историкът Роланд Уайт разкрива, че совалките трябвало да провеждат специални шпионски мисии за военните сили на САЩ.
