What's your essay
going to be about?
"Why I'm going to be the first
female Shuttle Commander."
That is going to go down real big.
Andie will get a kick out of that.
What's yours going to be about?
I'm going to do
"I want to go into space
"to contact life forms
that exist on chemicals
other than carbon and oxygen."
You should visit my high school.
So we struck this deal.
He got me to Space Camp,
and I got me a jeep.
So what are you doing here?
I wanna be the first guy to have
a fast-food franchise in space.
- Rudy T's.
- Are you serious?
Yeah. Some guy in a space station
is gonna get a Big Mac attack,
Rudy T's gonna be there.
So that's why you're here?
Well...
Come on.
I like learning.
Some guys in my school said,
"Yo, Rudy, how come
you takin' science?
You don't need to be
takin' science, man."
They don't ask me
if I like science.
Do you like science?
Yeah. I love science.
Now ask me
if I'm any good at it.
Not so hot, huh?
Some things
I just can't figure out.
It's a bummer, man.
My philosophy is to sleep late,
drive fast,
and not take
any of this shit seriously.
Straight up?
Hey, booster-breath,
leave me alone!
- Let me see it, kid.
- Come on.
Who are you,
the lmperial Guard or something?
What do you got in there?
Let us take a look.
- What's going on?
- This kid's got this thing in there.
We just want to see it.
Why don't you evaporate,
laser-brain?
- Lay off the kid!
- Let's take a look.
Wow, look at that!
Holy shit!
Shit... solid waste
aboard space station
can be handled
in one of two ways...
Jinx, cancel!
Okay, get down.
What is it?
What's it do?
Anything you ask him to.
- Sure moves slow.
- Jinx, shake a leg.
- Don't do that!
- All right.
Man, he literally does
what he's told!
Jinx, move over here, buddy.
Stop it!
Get your hands off me!
Play dead.
That's enough!
Shut up!
Wiggle your ears!
Jesus.
It's broken.
Let's get out of here.
- See you later, Dave.
- All right.
Sorry, kid.
Servos activating.
Sensor generators are okay.
Image analyses are clean.
Retractors stabilized.
I'm gonna put
your shield on now, Jinx.
Don't worry.
It'll be okay.
You're here with your buddy Max.
When I'm done with you,
you'll be as good as new.
There.
Yo, Jinx.
Yo, Max.
All right!
All right!
I can't believe it.
I can't believe those
Green Team jerkoffs did that to you.
What a bunch of monkey clones.
They ought to be zapped.
- Where are you going?
- To zap them.
No, no, Jinx, stop it!
There you go again.
Why do you have to take
everything so literally?
How else should I take it?
No, no, Jinx, it's okay.
Don't worry.
Don't worry, you'll be okay.
You know...
You're really neat, Jinx.
You too, Max.
Friends forever?
Friends...
...forever.
By the time you leave Space Camp,
you will know the function
of every circuit on the shuttle.
You may never get
the chance to fly in it,
but it won't be
because you don't know how.
If you ever get to be astronauts,
you're going to thank us for
making you wear these jumpsuits
because they provide
ease of movement
and additional
storage space in orbit.
The cushions of air
the zero-gravity chair rides on
helps you simulate
the weightlessness
you'd experience during EV A...
extravehicular activity.
That's the work you'd be doing
outside the shuttle.
To work in space,
you have to know how to move in it.
Don't push off.
Nothing will stop you
unless you're acted upon
by an outside force.
Kathryn, it's your job as Pilot
to monitor all the onboard systems
and feed that data to Kevin,
who, as Commander,
is in charge of the orbiter.
You can suit up
in your EMU in five minutes, Rudy,
once you get the hang of it.
EMU... that's extravehicular
mobility unit.
You're gonna need it to do
any activity in the vacuum of space.
Kathryn, give me the coordinates
of the space station at 0100 hours.
You have to call up whatever
information I ask for in a moment.
