Un policier tente d'arrêter une automobile décapotable occupée par un couple trop pressé. L'automobiliste n'obtempère pas, fauchant le policier qui se retrouve à cheval sur le capot, puis tombe sous les roues qui lui passent sur les jambes, mais il se relève aussitôt et entreprend de poursuivre les chauffards. Le véhicule grimpe alors sur la façade d’un immeuble qui lui sert de tremplin vers les nuages qu’il utilise comme chemin pour atteindre la Lune autour de laquelle il effectue une boucle, puis il se pose sur les anneaux de Saturne qui lui servent de circuit. L'automobile obéit enfin aux lois de la pesanteur et retombe dans le vide. Longue chute jusqu’à la Terre où l’automobile crève le toit d’un bâtiment qui s’avère être le tribunal où un juge envoie en prison un voyou. La voiture file à l'extérieur où le juge, le greffier et le policier les rattrapent. Mystère ! Le véhicule se transforme en paisible carriole tractée par un cheval. L'accusation d'excès de vitesse ne tient plus, les poursuivants baissent les bras. C'est alors que la carriole redevient une automobile qui s'éloigne à toute allure.

After a period of technological development and installation of infrastructure, Eagle One lands the first men on the Moon in July 1963. With continued lunar operations, the eyes of the NCA turn to Mars, landing there in 1968. The 1970s and beyond are devoted to technological expansion and the privatisation of space, leading to a very different modern day. The film is told through the eyes of those who witnessed and lived through these historical events.

The story takes place several centuries in the future. Mankind has colonized the entire solar system and beyond, and hardships such as war, disease, hunger, and overpopulation have been eliminated. However, boredom spread rapidly throughout the galaxy and as a result, interstellar war broke out. The two opposing factions were the Galactic Republic and the Rebels. While the Rebels eventually defeated the Galactic Republic because of their far greater numbers, the former were no better off; the aftermath of that war was a new Dark Age. Houses, plantations, and, more importantly, most books were destroyed in the war, and knowledge of interstellar travel was mostly lost, available only to a privileged few. Mankind, in the film, had made much progress, only to be rewarded with "third world" living conditions, despite people still possessing very advanced computers.

To assuage her homesickness, Zenon often communicates with her best friend on the space station, Nebula Wade, via a video phone tablet.
