Riders to the Stars

The Office of Scientific Investigations recruits and intensively trains astronauts to pilot space rockets to intercept and capture a meteor before it dissolves in Earth's atmosphere. Scientists need to examine the meteor to understand how it withstands cosmic radiation and extreme heat, solving the problem of metal fatigue for safe intergalactic travel.
