Summary In WWII, Sir Winston Churchill tasked a secret team of scientists to come up with an ingenious way to make supply drops reach the ground quickly and on target. Their retro rocket tests ended in spectacular disaster. Can the team succeed where WWII's greatest minds failed? This is rocket science and the team will have only one chance to find out if they have got their calculations right when they drop their load from the sky. (From the UK) (Factual Entertainment) PG CC
