Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })The Astronaut Farmer is a 2006 American drama film directed by Michael Polish, who co-wrote the screenplay with his brother Mark.The story focuses on Charles Farmer, a former astronaut-in-training who was discharged from the military before he could fulfill his dream of becoming an astronaut. Having missed the opportunity to travel into space, he decides to build a working replica of the Mercury-Atlas rocket in the barn on his secluded ranch in Texas with the ongoing support of his family. When he begins making inquiries about purchasing rocket fuel, the FBI and FAA step in to investigate (and the government officials make endless red tape to stall him beyond his deadline: foreclose on the farm), and the ensuing publicity thrusts Farmer into the spotlight and makes him a media darling. | |

Farm Boy | |
| The Astronaut Farmer / int_1122ec31 | comment |
Farm Boy: With a slight twist; the titular character is a farmer who becomes an astronaut, but rather than the usual case of being whiny and resistant to the idea at first before changing his mind, he's wished to being an astronaut from the beginning. His name is even Charles Farmer. | |

Gravity Sucks | |
| The Astronaut Farmer / int_286c4020 | comment |
Gravity Sucks: One shining example of this trope is the eponymous character's reentry. After a de-orbit burn lasting less than a few seconds, the craft appears to stop, and just drops straight down. | |

| The Astronaut Farmer / int_e38abd0f | comment |
Embarrassing Ringtone: One of the two government agents who are trying to prevent the titular farmer from building his rocket and going into space has "The Imperial March" as his ringtone, as part of their gradual descent over the course of the film from genuinely intimidating antagonists to Those Two Guys. | |
