The 33-year-old actress plays a woman named Rex, who had always dreamed of being an astronaut as a child… even though life got in the way.
The trailer begins with Rex looking up at the stars and saying out loud, “Once upon a time, I had bigger dreams.”
They show flashbacks of Rex as a girl, watching the launch of a space shuttle at Cape Canaveral in Florida.
“That’s going to be you someday, Rex,” the young girl’s mother says, as Rex adds, “I know, Mom.”
“But sometimes life doesn’t always go as planned,” she adds, as we see her as an adult working as a waitress.
A larger man runs up to the bar and says, ‘Yo, you,’ and she reluctantly says, ‘Can I get you another drink?’
She is later seen collapsing on her bed and then partying around a campfire and calling for “last call” at her bar.
And she adds in voice-over: “Ten years ago I got lost, but it’s not too late,” while enthusiastically telling her friend Nadine (Poppy Liu): “I’m going to be an astronaut!”
‘Oh my god… wait, come back?’ Nadine says, as Rex happily writes a letter to NASA, while Nadine reviews the resume she created.
“No, girl, this resume will never get you in… but let’s make some changes that will,” Nadine says, as we see some of the embellishments Nadine makes to the resume, such as attending MIT, flying fighter jets, and even win. a Pulitzer Prize.

‘I’m going to be an astronaut!’ Rex shouts to herself before arriving at the Kennedy Space Center in Houston for her training.
Apparently one of the changes was to change his name to ‘Dr. Tiffany Simpson,” as she was told she was accepted into astronaut training.

We take a look at their competition, which includes doctors, pilots and soldiers, as they are all grouped together and Rudolph Bolton (Dave Foley) tells them that there is a special name for astronaut candidates, ASCANS, which makes Rex laugh.
Rudolph goes on to say that they will be “trained and tested” over the next nine weeks and that most candidates “will not pass.”
Rudolph asks in a meeting if they are sure that ‘Dr. Simpson belongs here,” as Pam Proctor (Gabrielle Union) says, “We need unconventional candidates. He Built a series of gates to protect the manatees from the speed boats!
Toddrick (Sebastian Yatra) tells Rex, “When we were kids, you inspired me,” as Rex clearly doesn’t know how to react.
Rex calls Nadine angrily and tells her, “You brought up everything about creating my resume and said it wasn’t made up.”
Nadine tells him, ‘Come home before you hurt someone.’
Rex says: ‘I was born to do this! Once you let your dreams out of the box, you can’t just put them back in.’
The trailer ends with Rex on a plane, yelling that he can’t fly as he takes off, adding, “So, is this thing hard to land or…?”
