The rarely seen pilot episode of Rocket Science. Long before the first astronauts left the earth, Colonel John Paul Stapp was testing high-G rocket sleds and launching pilots above the atmosphere in pressurized spacecraft using giant helium balloons. Follow the adventures of these brave "pre-astronauts", including Joe Kittinger, the first (and so far only) man to break the sound barrier without an airplane by free-falling home from the edge of space - three times.

The Highest Step In The World was recently honored with First Prize at the 2007 White Sands Film Festival, as well as the Judges' Choice Award for Best Documentary. In 2006 it received First Prize for Best Documenary and the Judges' Choice 'Spirit of Da Vinci' Award at the Da Vinci Film Festival.
