Time to boldly go where no one has gone before. Grab your flight suit, strap yourself to your rocket and buckle the hell up. Douglas and Hugh are taking you through the early years of space travel.

Picture the scene: it's the birth of the Cold War and the heat is on between Russia and the United States. Who will get into space first? And how far are they prepared to go to get there? Well, as it turns out, quite far. Too far? You decide!

How did the Cold War get its name? What role did dastardly Alan Hitler's scientists play in the space race? And just how much younger is Hugh's new girlfriend? All will be revealed...and so much more!
