A mission control center (MCC) is an entity that manages aerospace vehicle flights, usually from the point of lift-off until the landing or the end of the mission. A staff of flight controllers and other support personnel monitor all aspects of the mission using telemetry, and send commands to the vehicle using ground stations. Personnel supporting the mission from an MCC can include representatives of the attitude control system, power, propulsion, thermal, attitude dynamics, orbital operations and other subsystem disciplines. The training for these missions usually falls under the responsibility of the flight controllers, typically including extensive rehearsals in the MCC.
Prior to liftoff missions are controlled from the Launch Control Center (LCC) located at NASA's Kennedy Space Center on Merritt Island, Florida. Responsibility for the booster and spacecraft remains with the LCC until the booster has cleared the launch tower, when responsibility is handed over to the NASA's Mission Control Center (MCC-H), at the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center, in Houston. The MCC also manages the U.S. portions of the International Space Station (ISS).

Plot: Neil; an imaginative 8 year old boy who grew up in his parent's bohemian style house. He is surrounded by a fruitful lifestyle of music and art but the balance is disrupted when we learn that Neil's mother could be sick with cancer. This causes an uncomfortable distance within the household which Neil can barely detect through his naivety. In an attempt to protect her son's innocence, Neil's mother describes the word 'chemotherapy' as a "distant planet". This stimulates Neil's imagination and inspires him to visualise a futuristic spaceship in his very own garden shed in order to travel to "planet chemo" and in turn save his mother from ill health. Accompanied by his noble crew of pet mice, we follow Neil's adventure through the cosmos while facing all of its mysterious obstacles.

Over time, Armacost's wife Jillian begins to note subtle changes in him. Egged on by a former NASA employee, she begins to believe that her husband is something else. She also learns that she is pregnant.
