Gerson tries to pull a fast one by saying that the team can do it only if each member passes the same physical standards as other astonauts in the NASA program. In the meantime, the press gets the scoop on NASA's plan to send four senior citizens into space. The members of Team Daedalus become national heroes, which means a stint on Jay Leno.
