The story centers around Robin Carew, a young orphan with dreams of space exploration, whose life takes a dramatic turn when he pursues a chance to work with rockets at the White Sands Proving Grounds. As Robin embarks on this journey, he grapples with his humble beginnings, yearning for opportunity and adventure amid the backdrop of the burgeoning space race.  The opening of the novel introduces Robin Carew as he navigates his routine life as a factory apprentice, marked by his dreams of the stars and fascination with rocketry. After learning about unexpected layoffs at his job, Robin seizes the opportunity to hitchhike across the country towards the rocket launch sites in New Mexico, driven by a deep desire to be part of the adventure unfolding in the skies. He faces the challenges of being an orphan and his perceived limitations but remains hopeful, ultimately making the daring decision to sneak onto a rocket destined for the moon.
