00:00Once upon a time, I had bigger dreams.
00:03I see a girl.
00:04Three, two, one.
00:08That's gonna be you one day, Rex.
00:09I know it, mom.
00:11But sometimes, life doesn't always work out the way you planned.
00:14Yo, yo.
00:15Can I get you another drink?
00:19Ten years ago, I got lost.
00:20Last call, everybody, last call!
00:23But it's not too late.
00:24I'm gonna be an astronaut.
00:26Oh, my God.
00:27Wait, come again?
00:28Dear NASA.
00:30Oh, girl.
00:31This resume will never get you in.
00:33But let's make a few changes that will.
00:35Dear NASA, I've accomplished everything I've ever wanted.
00:40Dr. Tiffany Simpson, you have been selected for astronaut training.
00:44I'm gonna be an astronaut!
00:45Johnson Space Center.
00:47I'm actually here.
00:49Dr. Stacey Kellogg, MD, PhD.
00:51Mancini, Captain, Jack.
00:53Violet Marie Brown.
00:54We have a special name for astronaut candidates.
00:57Ask hands.
00:59What?
01:05Over the next nine weeks, you will be trained and tested.
01:08Most of you will not pass.
01:10Mama, is that an astronaut?
01:12Not with my tax dollars, she's not.
01:15Are we sure Dr. Simpson belongs here?
01:18We need unconventional candidates.
01:20She built a series of gateways.
01:22When we were kids, you inspired me.
01:26You took everything out about my resume being made up and said it wasn't made up.
01:29Get your ass back home before you hurt somebody's...
01:34I was born to do this.
01:35Once you let your dreams out of the box, you can't just shove them back in.
01:39723, you're clear for takeoff.
01:40Roger, Flamingo.
01:41We're here for a second launch!
01:43We're here for a second launch!
01:45No!
01:47No!
01:49No!
01:51No!
01:53Is this thing hard to land or what?
