Tate Tuber has always known he was destined for greatness. A couch potato? Not Tate--he's going to be an astronaut! So when
Tate sees his chance to join space training, he literally jumps at the chance.
But on his first mission, Tate learns that his role doesn't include finding aliens or stopping asteroids. The human astronauts want to use Tate in a space farming experiment. How disappointing!
