Moonbase 8

Stationed at NASA's Moon Base Simulator in Winslow, Arizona, three dedicated astronauts (and one football champion) attempt to qualify for their first lunar mission.

Rook's video correspondence with his family leads to a serious case of homesickness that has him contemplating leaving the team.

When Cap and Skip both get sick it leads to vastly different quarantine experiences for each of them.

The team learns about the program's budget cuts and what impact they will have on their mission going forward.

Cap becomes an unwitting participant in Skip's psychological test and it leads to friction between the two of them; Rook proposes game night as a team bonding exercise.

The team must decide between abandoning the mission or standing their ground when an angry group of ranchers threatens them for invading their land.
