The Reluctant Astronaut
A small town kiddie ride operator, Roy Fleming (Don Knotts), is terrified of heights. Reluctantly following his dad's instructions, Roy sets off for Houston only to discover that he's a "janitor," not an astronaut. Afraid to disappoint his suffragette father, Roy manages to maintain a public persona as an astronaut for his family and friends. During a NASA test of a new automated satellite, an ordinary citizen named Roy has the chance to face his anxieties by being launched into space.
