From the heart of the United States, Cowboys, who intend to compete with the giants of the sector, launch themselves to the conquest of space tourism astride low cost rockets.

Behind Richard Branson, Virgin Galactic' s founder, John Carmack, creator of video games like Doom and Quake, Anoush Ansari, a young Indian-american billionaire, a new generation of great contractors boundless ingenuity and lean upon the latest scientific and technological discoveries to create their crazy machines and take off.
Around the opening of the first private space airport and the organisation of the X-Prize Cup - aero-spatial race in the desert of New Mexico-, Space Cowboys introduces us to these new flying madmen and their inventions: the Virgin Galactic's prototype, Spaceship 2, the Lunar Lander created by Armadillo, or the Space Elevator designed by the Space minors.
Thanks to 3D pictures, and high definition shooting in ultra-secret workshops, Space cowboys, tells us, how and why we all are going to space, very soon.
