A short comedy about two astronauts about to take off on a vital mission to Mars. The opening montage shows just how serious, how crucial this mission to Mars is. As the two astronauts sit in the cockpit awaiting launch, Major Tom Collins realises his co-pilot, Abe, is nowhere near as qualified as he should be. Abe has inextricably fumbled his way through training and ended up in the most important seat in the universe. The two grapple with the consequences of taking off anyway or delaying their crucial mission.
