Lift Off

THE STORY

Grace 11, is woken up from her dream about going to the moon in a rocket ship by her parents and their friend arguing about the future in the sitting room below. Curious, she gets out of bed and spies on them but after one of them dismisses space exploration she returns to her room and writes a letter of hope which she makes into a paper plane and sends down to them. 20 years later Grace welcomes a large group of people on the visit to NASA where she now works and reads out the letter, which moves a young girl in the audience to begin her own journey of curiosity and exploration.
