Synopsis:
One of Rodney Simon's lab workers at his company has discovered a way of refining high octane gasoline that produces certain gases, whose molecular structure is unknown.....but, when liquified, creates a new gas that, when mixed with oxygen, provides the force necessary to propel a rocket outside Earth's gravitational field. Although the Moon is the planned landing area, Simon decides Venus to be a better choice.....with dire consequences!
