Re-Entry Forbidden

DoomwatchThe Sunfire 1 mission, the first orbital test flight of a nuclear-powered space capsule, is crewed by two Americans and the first British astronaut, Dick Larch. When the capsule returns to Earth, however, a disastrous dump of the nuclear fuel almost occurs, and an inquiry begins into the incident, with NASA keen to keeps its pilots’ names clear. Dr. Quist and Doomwatch are tasked with trying to determine if Larch is of sound mind, something Larch resents deeply. But is he hiding something…and why is he volunteering for the next Sunfire mission?
