The Astronauts

The Odyssey II is a spacecraft prepped for a mission to retrieve a foreign object that can potentially save mankind. The mission goes awry when the spacecraft prematurely launches with five untrained pre-teens (and zero adult astronauts) onboard.

The kids must take the helm in their new role as astronauts when they face their first harrowing task. Meanwhile, Mission Control rushes to resolve the assumed software glitch in Matilda that caused the premature launch.

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.

After a small toy clogs the toilet and leaves only one working bathroom, the kids band together on a chaotic mission to dislodge the toy. On Earth, tempers flare between the parents while Matilda's inventor devises a bold plan to hijack the AI.

Mission Control uploads a virus onto the Odyssey in an attempt to take control. Matilda fights back by shutting everything down. Now floating in darkness with the very real threat of death, the true vulnerabilities of the kids comes to light.

A small hole in the ship threatening the oxygen supply can only be repaired from the outside, forcing Martin to become the first kid to ever attempt a spacewalk.

When crew morale is at an all-time low with four of the kids, Elliot takes it upon himself to rally the group with a team-building exercise. Using a high-tech, super advanced camera they find onboard, they kids decide to make a movie: a space movie.

Mission Control implements a new plan of attack: unplugging Matilda from avionic control and transferring it to the ground. In the middle of this rigorous task, Samy has to undergo emergency surgery without the aid of a medical professional onboard.

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 Venus's orbit without it burning up in the planet's atmosphere.

An unexpected development prompts doubts among the kids about returning home, and an unknown threat attempts to destroy the Odyssey before the astronauts can make their next move.
