00:00Once upon a time, I had bigger dreams.
00:03I see you, girl.
00:05Look, look!
00:08That's gonna be you one day, Rex.
00:10I 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.
00:21Last call, everybody! Last call!
00:23But it's not too late.
00:25I'm gonna be an astronaut.
00:28No!
00:29Oh, my God.
00:30Wait, come again?
00:31Dear NASA.
00:33Oh, girl.
00:34This resume will never get you in.
00:36But let's make a few changes that will.
00:38Dear NASA, I've accomplished everything I've ever wanted.
00:43Dr. Tiffany Simpson, you have been selected for astronaut training.
00:46I'm gonna be an astronaut!
00:48Johnson Space Center.
00:50I'm actually here.
00:51Dr. Stacey Kellogg, M.D., Ph.D.
00:53Mancini. Captain. Jack.
00:55Pilot Marie Veslovsky.
00:57We have a special name for astronaut candidates.
01:00Askance.
01:02What?
01:08Over the next nine weeks, you will be trained and tested.
01:11Most of you will not pass.
01:13Mama, is that an astronaut?
01:15Not with my tax dollars, she's not.
01:18Are we sure Dr. Simpson belongs here?
01:21We need unconventional candidates.
01:23She built a series of gates to protect the manatees from speed boats.
01:27When we were kids, you inspired me.
01:31You took everything out about my resume being made up
01:33and said it wasn't made up.
01:34Get your ass back home before you hurt somebody.
01:39I was born to do this.
01:40Once you let your dreams out of the box, you can't just shove them back in.
01:43Seven, two, three, you're clear for takeoff.
01:45Punch it, Flamingo.
01:46Come on, come on, come on!
01:50No!
01:53Is this thing hard to land or what?
