Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })RocketMan is a 1997 Walt Disney-produced comic science-fiction film, directed by Stuart Gillard, and starred Harland Williams, Jessica Lundy, William Sadler and Jeffrey DeMunn.Williams stars as an eccentric NASA programmer named Fred Z. Randall, who is given the chance to go travel on an eight-month journey to Mars — manned by the mission commander William Overbeck (Sadler) — as a replacement computer specialist, despite having no experience as an astronaut. When the crew is put to hypersleep to shorten the journey, a chimp named Ulysses switches pods with the reluctant Fred, disrupting his sleep months earlier than everyone else during the journey.With the crew asleep, Fred has no choice but to amuse himself with data studies of Mars and creating a Sistine Chapel-style painting on the ceiling with the supplies provided. Meanwhile on Earth, the crew discover weather reports of a sandstorm on the planet and become concerned over the astronauts’ safety, but the flight director Paul Wick (DeMunn) is adamant to continue the mission.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })With no usable supplies and a sandstorm on the way, Hilarity Ensues as the flight crew eventually reach their destination.Not to be confused with the Elton John biopic of the same name.

Almost Out of Oxygen: Randall trades oxygen packs with Ulysses to give buy time for them to get back to the lander. Justified in that he just set a record for lung capacity, but he still nearly asphyxiates, and Overbeck lampshades the danger.

Answer Cut: When asked by Director Ben who is Wick's second choice for replacement astronaut, the latter face slowly turns into a grimace followed by a cut to Fred Randall whooping at his arrival to NASA HQ for the first time.
