Synopsis
In the 1960s, Lebanon was the first Arab country to start sending rockets into the sky. Led by Manoug Manougian, their physics teacher, a small group of students from the Haigazian University (called Haigazian College at the time) began tests and launched their first rockets to conquer space under the name ″Lebanese Rocket Society″. Their work will take more and more important as to make the headlines, and the Lebanese space program was briefly a source of national pride.
Who were these young people? Why have they stopped? And most importantly, why was all this totally forgotten?
