Billy begins to develop a close bond with one particular chimpanzee named Mac. With Billy\'s help and companionship, Mac is chosen to become the first American astronaut launched into space.All seems like a wonderful game until Billy realizes that his new friend is being prepared to be hurled hundreds of miles into orbit on a historical mission - and that someone at NASA is about to sabotage the mission.
