The story

Three men are launched from Cape Kennedy in a typical Apollo-style launch; a "Red Chinese" agent is killed in the water nearby before he can sabotage the rocket launch. The President (Lew Ayres) of the United States announces that the three men and their ship will be the nucleus of a new nation, and asks Americans to turn their lights on that night to show support for the project. The astronauts take photos of the Earth's surface as they orbit, to be processed later to determine the level of public support for the idea within the conterminous 48 states.
