Francis Bourgeois steps inside some of the world’s leading space agencies, getting a rare look behind the scenes. Along the way, he faces a series of intense physical and mental trials on his journey to space.

From enduring crucial G-Force training under the guidance of British astronaut Tim Peake, to performing critical tests in zero gravity, to impressing top brass at Axiom Space’s astronaut training programme — a leader in commercial spaceflight — Francis is pushing himself through a personal trial of physical and mental endurance.

His mission takes him across the United States, as he immerses himself in the demanding world of astronaut training and space exploration. Along the way, he confronts the realities of human spaceflight — the strain, the science, and the psychological toll — raising an essential question: does he have what it takes to leave Earth behind?
