The premise
Here’s the bit.
Strapped into the shuttle's cab as it sits on the launch pad, three astronauts behave like bickering passengers in a family sedan. One keeps apologizing about a door, another insists the commander unlock his window even though they are about to leave the atmosphere, and the commander has to remind him what his rank means. A persistent dinging noise gets blamed on an open trunk, which a spacecraft does not have, and with the argument unresolved the crew decides to launch anyway. A newspaper front page then reveals how the mission went.

Highly quotable.
No, we're about to go into space.
Um, yes, I am the boss of you. That's what commander means.
Spaceships don't have trunks!
