A whimsical Victorian-era space adventure that playfully subverts the space race narrative through imaginative spectacle and period charm.

The world is delighted when a spacecraft containing a crew made up of the world's astronauts lands on the moon, but are shocked when the astronauts discover an old British flag and a document declaring that the moon is taken for Queen Victoria proving that the astronauts were not the first men on the moon.
