Summary

In the remote woods of North Jay, Vermont, lies the rusting ghost of an engineering marvel—and a deadly dream. In the 1970s and 80s, visionary scientist Dr. Gerald Bull set out to build a giant cannon capable of launching satellites into space faster and cheaper than rockets. But when military contracts and international dictators got involved, the project’s promise turned to peril. Join Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger as they uncover the ruins of the Space Research Corporation, trace the tangled web of politics and ambition, and ask the haunting question: What could have been if the dream hadn’t turned deadly?
