A brilliant satire on space exploration and American failure. Melville, South Carolina, is broke, jobless, hopeless, and now astronaut-less. To begin with, there were only two, and one of them is trapped on the abandoned International Space Station after his mission went wrong. With NASA's budget cut to the bone, no one can bring him back, so everyone prefers to ignore this embarrassing symbol of American failure and let him die. But his cousin, Walter Reddie, won't allow it. Drunk on vodka and living on a "farm" where the only crop is cars on cinder blocks, Walter is a failure of the Space Shuttle Program, and he's not going to let his cousin die in the sky like a dog. So he starts building a rocket. If America won't rescue its astronauts, he will.
