Lucy and her friend Vivian dig into their closets and don their old military uniforms for a NASA lecture. However, the excitement quickly turns into an unexpected adventure when they unwittingly volunteer for a psychological test that places them in a sealed, simulated space capsule. Now, the two must endure 24 hours in cramped conditions, but there’s a catch—Vivian is claustrophobic! Watch as Lucy hilariously tries to keep her friend calm and prevent her from pulling the “chicken switch” that would end their space experiment prematurely.
Lucy’s desperate attempts to manage a panicking Viv in a tiny space capsule make “Lucy Becomes An Astronaut” a fan-favorite episode of The Lucy Show.
