The Astronauts

The spacecraft Odyssey II is set to embark on a mission to retrieve a foreign object that could potentially save mankind, but the plan quickly goes awry when five untrained kids sneak aboard and are unable to stop the launch sequence.

Tension on the ship rises as Elliott plants seeds of distrust about Will, whom Elliott suspects is collecting mission information for his reporter mother. Meanwhile, Samy works with Matilda’s inventor to probe the AI’s role in the accidental launch.

Mission Control uploads a virus onto the Odyssey in an attempt to take control. Matilda fights back by shutting everything down, and the true vulnerabilities of the kids comes to light.

With morale at an all-time low, Elliot takes it upon himself to rally the group with a team-building exercise involving using a high-tech camera to make a movie: a space movie.

Mission Control failed to transfer control to the ground, which means the kids are now driving the space craft. With only one day of training, the kids must steer a spacecraft into Venuss orbit without it burning up in the planets atmosphere.
