Kidong is an exploration crew member of ASA (not NASA), aka Asia Space Administration. He leaves ASA to raise his daughter, Kyujin, after his wife and colleague, Sunho, dies during childbirth.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shot in actual Incheon industrial zones; the 'space station' is a repurposed factory near the airport. The director called it 'Korea's cheapest launch pad.'
ASA deliberately echoes NASA while Korean space program KARI was launching actual rockets—this film asks what Asian space identity looks like when divorced from American heroism. The answer: messy, broke, deeply personal.
