Right now, in real life, the members of NASA's astronauts corps are helping to review the thousands of applications that the space agency has received to join their ranks as the next candidates to train for space. Chances are, though, none of the submissions are from the likes of Tiffany "Rex" Simpson.
Rex, as played by actress Emma Roberts in the new movie "Space Cadet," now streaming on Amazon Prime Video, dreamed of being an astronaut as a young girl but, as often happens, life got in the way. That is, until she decided she was no longer content being a 28-year-old bartender ("mixologist"), sometime-alligator wrestler and full-time Cocoa Beach party girl and applied to NASA.
From there, as they say, the comedy ensues.
