Dead Air

The world is quickly running out of oil and we are on the brink of global war.  All of the countries with space programs race to launch a space crew to take control of the last space satellite.  Back on earth a scientist has come up with a controversial method to create energy from outer space by using a satellite.  As the space battle begins, he discovers the missing formula he needs to make the invention work.  He gets in touch with a Richard Branson like figure who has a commercial space ship and convinces him to send him up with some mercenaries to try to stop the war and end the energy crisis.
