Man: We have liftoff.

Betty: Previously on
"the astronaut wives club"...

You were so calm
during alan's launch.

How'd you do it?

It was faith in god,
in n.A.S.A.

I'm working
for "confidential" magazine,

Focusing on
your first marriage.

I'm divorced, and nothing
that i did before i met deke

Should ever hurt him.

I never had any doubt
that my husband squarely

Would be home in time...
[ laughter ]

To try my new omelet recipe.

What's with you?
I'm grounded.

They're taking
my flight away.

Rene says annie sounded
clear as a bell.

I feel bad we missed it.

I just got grounded, and that's
what you feel bad about?

I'm sure the glenns
barely noticed.

What?

The glenns are the nicest people
on the planet.

That cake you're eating?
Annie made it for us...

For no reason...
From scratch.

I know that people are saying

That you being grounded
is retribution.

When john stood up
to the vice president,

You guys had his six.

Now n.A.S.A. Is showing you
who's boss.

You said it. I didn't.

Even if that's true, that's not
john or annie's fault.

You have
an irregular heartbeat, hon.

I've had this arrhythmia
ever since i got recruited.

Never once has it been
an issue.

So what changed?

Why is it one now?

Rene: Can you believe it?

Soon we'll be
in our own homes,

Custom-made to our own
specifications,

Never lived in by anyone else.

Who would've thought l.B.J.
Would be moving us to houston?

He wants n.A.S.A.'s headquarters
in his state.

Brings jobs to where
his voters are

And makes him
the hometown hero.

Trudy, don't be cynical.

Living in a real city?
It's exciting.

And houston society parties
are legendary.

What's exciting is "gemini."

2-manned missions,
training for "apollo."

[ sighs ] marge,
deke is gonna have

Plenty of opportunities
to go up. Don't worry.

It's just hard
getting excited

With his future
so up in the air.

Or should i say
down on the ground?

Jo: Has anyone heard if the date
of wally's flight is set?

Because they are saying
his orbit is gonna be

At least as long as john's.

Cut the gas, jo.

Nothing's official yet.

Well, of course it's official.

Wally's
deke's designated backup.

That's what "backup" means.

Anyway, we are not even
talking about houston

Until he's up and back and we've
visited the white house.

Ha! Already making
white house plans?

Well, aren't you as happy
as a pig in --

Should we eat?
Yes, let's.

[ lowered voice ]
marge, listen.

I don't envy your position,

Or deke's,

But sometimes things happen.

Right.

Except that thing is happening
to me, not you.

We just have to trust
the process.
[ door closes ]

The higher-ups know
what they're doing.

Scott: Rene.

Mmm!

[ laughing ] oh, my goodness!

What on earth?

It's me. I got the call.
I'm replacing deke.

Oh, my gosh, scott.

Mmm! You're going to space!

Oh, my gosh! [ laughs ]
oh, my gosh!
[ laughs ]

Oh!

Like you said,

You just gotta trust
the process.

♪♪♪

This doesn't make any sense.

If deke can't go up,
it's supposed to be you.

Those are the rules.

Scott's just doing
the same thing john did,

With some boring
science experiments throw in.

Look, there's a 7-orbit flight
coming up.

They think i could be perfect
for that.

They think?
You could be?

There's no guarantee
you'll even go up.

You could just be a capcom
for the rest of "mercury,"

Squeezed out by these geminis
with all of their degrees,

And not even on the list
for "apollo."

If you ever get sick
of this housewife thing,

Give motivational speaking
a whirl.

They told me they've got

Something bigger and better
in mind.

I'm gonna choose
to believe them.

That's who you're believing?

The dodos at n.A.S.A. Who said
you were deke's backup?

I hate the process.

There's a sunken living room,
a den over here.

The two bedrooms are
down the hall.

Wait. Two?
Um...

Does that mean
we have to share?

Sharing's good for you.
Puts hair on your chest.

But i don't want hair
on my chest.

And look, you girls have got
your very own bathroom.

Only two bedrooms?

Yep. We gotta share, too.

Known' how you'd feel, i tried
to fight the contractor on it,

But he said this layout
makes the most sense

For what we can afford.

And these plans --
they're final?

Afraid so.

What do y'all think?

We're reporting live

From outside the home
of scott carpenter.

He has big shoe to fill

As he follows up
astronaut john glenn,

The greatest victor
in the space race so far.

This isn't just about space.

It's...
[ girls giggle ]

It's about american values.

Words like "patriotism,"
"duty"...

They go over
like gangbusters.

What, "a dreamer
heads into space"?

I was trying to do
something more personal

With scott's article,
more intimate.

Max, it's too intimate.

You -- you had to write
that he plays guitar

And walks around barefoot?
He does.

[ knock on door ]

Betty:
[ singsongy ] knock, knock!

Holy smokes,
it is a zoo out there.

Alan called.
The guys are on their way.
[ door closes ]

And i brought
a cheese porcupine

Because, well, why not?
[ laughs ]

Man: Mr. Carpenter,

We know that "mercury 7" is
a tight-knit group.

Is there any tension
between you and deke slayton?

Look, if -- if anyone deserves
to be up there, it's deke.

But if he can't be,

I'm proud that the boys
at n.A.S.A. Have decided

That i'm fit for the job.

[ clears throat ]

Stepping in when called upon
is...

My patriotic duty.

Man: Mr. Carpenter!
Man: Mr. Carpenter.

How does a guy like you
land a wife that beautiful?

[ laughter ]

In the dark.

[ laughter ]
it's true.
We met in a movie theater.

[ laughs ]

Man: Mrs. Carpenter.
Man: Uh, mrs. Carpenter!

Mrs. Carpenter,

Mrs. Glenn has been open
about praying for her husband

While he was in space.

Do you plan to pray for
your husband's safe return?

Oh, i think would be
presumptuous of us

To pray for anything
having to do with the mission.

[ murmuring ]

So yes or no?

A-are you going to pray?

It's a simple question.

Well, actually, it's not,
but...

If you require a simple answer,
then no, i won't be praying.

[ murmuring ]

Uh, mrs. Carpenter.
Mrs. Carpenter!

[ all talking at once ]

Do you not believe in god?

Are you an atheist?

Do you go to church
on sundays?

Do you have tattoos?
[ all talking at once ]

[ lowered voice ] i know i say
what i think, but...

Even i wouldn't say that.

Dunk: Okay, we're gonna take
one at a time.

We're going to proceed
in orderly fashion.

[ all speaking at once ]

[ shutters snapping ]

Why don't you smash some church
windows while you're at it, hmm?

Step on the american flag?

This is the united states,
not the u.S.S.R.!

That's enough, dunk.

Every news outlet
is gonna be calling me!

"carpenters don't pray"
will be splashed across the top

Of every paper
by tomorrow morning.

Then let's stop it.

We run rene's article before
the launch instead of after.

Get ahead of the story.

Set the record straight.

Make sure you include
that they go to church.

Hell, they got married
in one.

I'm not discussing
our religious beliefs

Or anything to do with prayer.

Do you wanna fix this
or not?

And what do you have
against prayer, anyway?

What i'm against
is max's editorializing.

He made scott look like
a navel-gazing beatnik.

And i'm not about to let him do
whatever he wants with my story.

I want to show the world
that i can do more

Than stand there
and look pretty.

Actually, that's exactly what
i need you to do right now.

Cooperate with max,
be seen at a church,

And try to be a little more
like annie glenn --

Pretty and silent.

I called dunk three times
yesterday and twice today,

And zilch.

There's gotta be a way
to get deke ungrounded.

Dunk's just a lackey.

What you need is someone
with real power.

I'm gonna call the president.

[ whirring ]
president of what?

[ rotary dial clacks ]

I'd like to place a call
to the white house, please.

The one in washington.

Who am i?
I am an astronaut's wife,

And this is a matter
of natural security.

She's putting me through!
[ gasps ]

I'm melting under this thing.
[ dryer whirring ]

[ scoffs ]
crank it up
a few more degrees,

That's what summer in texas
will be like.

I want a.C., but wally thinks
it's not necessary.

Doesn't the house come with it?

The house doesn't come with
anything unless you ask for it.

Ask for it? Aren't
the contractor's plans final?

It's all custom, hon.

Wally is getting me
a banquette in the kitchen

And a closet so big
i can walk into it.

He says i can have
anything i want,

Except a.C., apparently.

Yes!

This is deke slayton's wife,

And i'd like to talk
to the president

About a very important matter.

Well, if you could
have him call me

When he's out of his meeting,
that would be just swell.

[ receiver clatters ]

You know he's never calling you,
right?

This lands on you.

You get that interview
in the works asap,

Or we will find someone
who can.

If they had asked me
that question,

I would've said
the same damn thing.

I can't believe
you talked me into this.

Well, you're the one who told
the whole world that

You won't be praying for your
husband while he's in space.

And insulting john and annie
didn't exactly help.

I didn't insult
john and annie.

Really? You looked insulted.
Were you insulted?

Well --
of course she wasn't.

She has her beliefs,
and i have mine.

It's a thing called
mutual respect.

No.

I don't understand.

We -- we -- we -- we're here.
W-why not go in?

Please just take me home.

before scott goes up.

Now rene's got her own ideas,

But every time i call,
no answer.

Every time i stop by,

The importance
of these interviews,

For the program

And to me.

That'd be great.

I'm sorry for stopping by

I'm gonna be the first guy

To eat solid food up there,

To take pictures.

Swirling like fireflies.

Things that nobody needs

Or things you don't want
to talk about?

Deke: Oh, he's gettin' his shot
next week.

Oh, hey, now, let's not
make this personal.

Carpenter was your backup,

Not to mention
he's your best friend.

Did you push for this?

'cause there's no way
he got it on his own.

Scott's a good pilot.

We'll talk about this

why don't we talk about

How i'm gonna be sittin'
on my ass in australia,

Waiting for carpenter

That's how orbital missions
work, deke.

Not you, though.

to babysit him here.

It should've been wally,

And it sure as hell
shouldn't have been carpenter.

being late to our own party.

Oh, you care?

Do you?

You know those fireflies i spent
so much time looking for?

It turned out to be
waste from the capsule.

[ laughs ]

The alien life-form was
astronaut pee?

[ laughing ]
seriously? You, too?

You know, i'm getting enough
ribbing from the guys,

Not to mention
flack from n.A.S.A.

You were just looking
for answers.

There's nothing wrong
with that.

Except for going
wildly off course,

Almost running out of fuel.

I don't know.

Being up there,

It felt
as -- as close to heaven

As i was ever gonna get.

[ voice breaks ]
well, i can understand

Why you stayed up there
as long as you did.

Are you gonna write about him
in your article, rene?

I don't think i could
find the words.

Maybe you should try.

[ whispers ] rene...

You know,
when i was up there,

I took my time,

Consequences be damned,

'cause that's who i am.
[ chuckles ]

Yeah, that's...That's me.

If you want people to know
the real you,

You gotta let 'em
actually see it.

[ the cashmen's "the cobra"

[ indistinct conversations ]

The man of the hour.
Where's your better half?

She's finishing her article.

[ laughter ]

Hey. Uh...

I didn't get a chance
to thank you.

I wouldn't have made it down
without you. I know that.

Don't think
they don't know it, too.

[ pats arm ]

Was starting to worry
you'd need alan to get you here.

[ laughter ]

Lucky you didn't end up
250 miles away.

You sure you weren't chasing
them "fireflies" again?

Can't wait to hear all about
constellation urine.

[ laughter ]

That's a good one.
Constellation urine.

You guys have been working
on your material.

Might need just
a bit more work,

But i think
you're on your way.

[ sonny williamson's
"i gotta cry" playing ]

Hi.

Shouldn't you be stalking
your next victim?

I meant your next astrowife.

No word on who that is yet,
but...

If it was up to me,
alan would be next.

I'm sure he'd appreciate
your vote of confidence.

Because then i'd get to spend
more time with you.

The guys aren't
saying anything

I haven't already said
to myself.

So tell me,
what was the best part?

The sunrises and sunsets.

I knew it.
Wow.

You can't imagine.

It was just
the most spectacular thing

You've ever seen.

Is it true you're never going
back up again?

You know, the last thing
that i was thinking about

When i was up there
was how to get back up.

And now that i'm down...

I'm thinking about
what's next.

Life's not about repeating
what you've already done

Or regretting
the way you did things

The first time around.

It's about...Movin' on,

Moving forward,

And staying you.

Wanna get a sixer

[ chuckles ]

Nah, i'm done drinking.

For the night.

For good.

Chris kraft said
what happened to me

Shouldn't have happened
to a dog.

He wants me to appeal.

He wants me for "gemini."

He does?

[ laughs ]
oh, deke, that's amazing!

Whatever you need, i'm here.

As soon as we get settled
in houston,

We're gonna fight
for that "gemini" mission,

And we won't quit
until we get it.

No, we're not.

[ laughs ]

Ohh.

When i first met you
back in college,

I thought i was gonna spend
the rest of my life with you.

In fact, i knew it.

It took every ounce of strength
i had to leave you.

I didn't want to,
but i had to.

And as hard as it was,

I built a whole new life
for myself.

And then you asked me to walk
away from it, and i did.

I think part of me came back
to erase the past,

And part of me came back
to punish you for it.

But i have to move forward.

What are you saying, trude?

I'll go to houston,

But on my own terms.

And if you ever get
back into my bed,

It's not gonna be
because you tricked me.

It's gonna be
because you earned it.

So wait.

You're sayin' i got a shot?

Well, we're moving to houston
to put a man on the moon.

Anything's possible.

[ chuckles ]

[ wally and deke

Jo: Careful with
that samurai sword.

That's a gift
from an actual samurai.

Thanks, deke.

I'm glad i heard it
from you.

See you in houston.
See you in houston.

Hey.

What did deke want?

It's not bad news, is it?

Tell me, wally!

You know how it felt
when scott was chosen over me?

Like someone had put a bullet
in my back.

And you know why
i make jokes?

'cause the world's
an unfair place,

And sometimes the only way
to deal with it is to laugh.

Just because i laugh

Doesn't mean
i don't take this seriously.

I do.

I wanna be the best.

And now that i'm next,
i'm gonna be.

I-i'm sorry. I never should've
said that. I know...

Wait.

What did you just say?

Six orbits, nine hours.

What they said was true.
They were saving me.

I'm gonna be first up
in houston!
