Okay, I'm going out.

If you put fire on the premises;

so is number 112. Thanks.

Randall, come on,

I'll treat you to a drink.

Wait a second.

I do not drink alcohol.

Gil, a round of Blast-Off

for my friend Randall here.

Blast Off? What is it?

A special drink.

Just for us astronauts.

- Oh, like a Tang?

- Exactly.

Houston, we have ignition!

- Excellent!

- Start the countdown.

Three ... two ... one ... start!

Start!

Start!

Start!

Hi, Ford. Began work early?

- Is this necessary?

- Absolutely, enjoy the show.

To have someone so full of

this is wrong.

Is he you want in a romper

beside you for 35 million mil home?

Julie Ford!

Julie Ford! Come on, let's dance!

We dance!

It was not me ...

Guys have fun now, huh?

Everyone laughs at us!

This is not a school party!

This is NASA!

Some of us have served

right to be here.

If we can not replace Gary,

mission is stopped.

So grow up but do not waste my time.

Hi, Julie.

I just tried,

you know ... fit.

Julie?

Oh, it's you.

Do not worry little buddy.

It's just thunder.

Frightens me.

Can not sleep, huh?

Ok. I sing a

little lullaby, but only one.

Hairy little monkey, sleep

at night,

Close your eyes so your monkey

monkey ... monkey eyes closed.

And then would you know little

monkeys are not afraid.

When you hear thunder boom.

So late into the night.

- Paul, this Randall is a joke!

- Give him a chance.

He will not show, you know.

Guy is a joke for NASA!

I understand people like him.

He will be totally professional.

Morning! Morning!

Oh, well, Fred!

We start your tests with

insulation chamber.

In 24 hours we can see if you

can cope with the insulation of the space flight.

Completely missed by all external

stimulus completely alone.

Not entirely. Your competitors

will be in the House next.

- Gordo!

- Sir.

Hello, Gordon A. Peacock,

computer specialist!

Okay, okay, is not it

here a real treat!

What kind of laptop you have?

- Randall, come on.

- Close off.

Gordo, you are right;

Randall, in the left.

Initializes the 24-hour clock.

Hello?

- What the hell?

- Is it you?

Yes I am.

Prove it!

I asked you first!

I asked you first.

I asked you first.

John Jacob Jingle Heimer Schmidt

His name is my name too.

Whenever we go out screaming

People always like ...

''John Jacob

Jingle Heimer Schmidt''

He stopped.

People always yell out

John Jacob Jingle Heimer ...

Paul, he is not human.

Freddy, it was just wonderful that you

invited us from London this weekend.

Yes, it's wonderful

to be here, Freddy.

It is my pleasure,

Mr. and Mrs. Plumpton.

OK, Bill, let's get them out.

Someone has stolen my pants.

Yes, you did it.

I did not do it, and

I swear that I never want to!

Can you give me 5 minutes?

I've just started the third act.

Close the door!

It's damn cold!

- Yes, close the door, your fat ...

- Not in front of the children!

Turn off the power.

Turns off the power.

- Gordo, good job!

- Well done, Gordo!

Looks like he overcame

motion sickness.

Good ride, guys!

I would not have had it with liver sausage

and cheese sandwich just before.

Randall, you know what that

iso chamber was child's play.

This baby is a different matter.

- How fast is spinning this thing?

- Almost ... 250km per hour.

There are 6 G.

Bill which holds the world record.

Have fun, kid.

Ha is my Chinese neighbor

middle name!

Tok!

Take a quiet, Randall.

Wait.

Ok, let's try the 4G.

No, five.

Lite ...

faster ...

please.

5.7 ... 5.8!

Thanks ... so much!

Six G!

He is equal to your record,

Should I stop?

- Give a little more gas!

- Take it to seven.

Faster! Faster!

Suffice ... Slow down ...

Mom!

I want my Mommy!

And what is NASA's priority is children?

Security!

Father care who is in heaven ...

Come on, Gary. What brave, what?

Why try not to go?

Out of the way!

Sorry I'm late.

I ... ae ...

I ran into Gary, and ...

Sit in the chair, Fred.

The second chair.

capacitor 15 goes into 12 ...

Red to green ... over 19 ...

17 into two, the red into the green ...

And that was it!

Good Randall. Really good.

The fastest time I've seen.

I designed the most

of these circuits.

How's it going?

He can do it well!

Let us try emergency situations.

You have one minute to do it

or you die your crew.

Start.

You know what to do!

Do you doubt, you want to fail!

Tak! Wall! Floor! You guys!

It goes too fast!

It is 100 times worse

in reality, come on!

Randall ...

Look at him! Randall!

Randall, you're hopeless!

How did it for me?

A minute and 30 seconds.

Remember, keep your pingpong

ball in the air as long as possible.

This test lung capacity,

to see how long you can survive

at life residence system error.

The record is three minutes;

held by the Commander Overbeck.

Ford, do me a favor.

If for some miracle this guy

can do it ... look after him, would you?

Sir.

Hi, Ben.

Bid.

Bud!

Can you excuse us?

The closer to Bill's record.

Bill, what do you think?

I think Gordo is an astronaut

and Randall is not.

I do not know.

He broke the record!

It was not me!

It was not me!

So we will use a new

system generates artificial gravity.

Ford, expect you to

find life on Mars?

Absolutely. Together with my

crew, including Ulysses.

I think we probably can find

microscopic multicellular organisms,

resembled those found in

Antarctic.

Bernard Barrow, BBC.

Commander, we have all read

about dangerous wind storms.

How will it affect the mission?

Ok, as a former test pilot,

I have experienced my share

of wind problems.

But I had insurance to start now

these storms will not cause problems.

Bernard Barrow, BBC.

Mr. Wick, NASA has appointed a

replacement crew member yet?

I'm glad you asked it.

Ben, would you answer that?

Yes. I have taken a decision

at our place ...,

And NASA

is satisfied, and I am satisfied,

to announce the appointment of

astronaut and the third member

of this historic mission

to March,

Astronaut Fred Randall!

I'm not ready, Bud.

Peace, 1968 when President Johnson

appointed me to head,

He gave me three commemorative coins.

One for glory, as he

gave to Armstrong.

A to freedom, I gave

on to Lovell.

And ... for heroism.

It has not given me a lot.

Maybe it means something to you.

I feel like the Cowardly Lion.

If I ...

Be King ...

Out of the woods.

I would be rough, and rough,

and more rough.

How to just say, Thanks for the tough

coin, would mean a lot to me?

Yes, thanks for the hard coin.

What was the other?

Vlbekommen, Fred.

Continue.

Good luck, Astronaut Randall!

OK, team, let's kick the tires

and ignite the rocket.

Do not worry, Ulysses.

Everything will be fine.

Nothing to be afraid of.

I'm not afraid, so

why would you be?

- What is your status?

- Go.

- Roger, 842nd Booster?

- Go.

-Apus?

-Go.

- Looks good.

Houston, we are approaching.

Initiates final checklist.

- Fuel cells.

- Check.

- Hydraulic.

- Check.

- CDP, panel sixth

- MMU one.
