Astronauts: Toughest Job In The Universe (2017)
Space is the ultimate destination. But life there requires extraordinary ability. Millions dream of becoming astronauts. Few make it a reality. So, what happens when you take 12 people at the pinnacle of their professions, and put them through the gruelling process of astronaut selection? As the candidates push themselves to the limit, they’re assessed by a doctor, a psychologist, and an experienced astronaut. If they don’t make the grade, they’re asked to leave. Who will have what it takes to attempt the toughest job in the universe?
