City College and Greendale are locked in a space race to be the first college to claim a simulated mission to space. The study group is tasked with cleaning out the simulator after their latest prank is found out by the Dean. Before they can even begin cleaning, they are locked inside the simulator, sans Abed, and towed away. Now it's a race against the clock to guide the simulator back to the campus and beat City College.

== The ''[[
* [[Affectionate Parody]]/[[Whole
* [[All Gays Are Promiscuous]]: Heavily hinted at with Dean Pelton. He has a map with truck stops and public restrooms circled.
{{quote|
'''Dean Pelton: (to himself, ashamed)''' ...those aren't thumbs. }}
* [[Audience Participation]]: Of the voting variety. Fans designed their own Greendale flags and then voted for one to become official, the winning one was introduced in "Basic Rocket Science" and the voting was written into the plot as having been done by Greendale students.
* [[Before and After Pictures]]: Inverted in that the before of the simulator is the nicer of the two.
* [[Can You Hear Me Now?]]: Cell phones lose their signal inside the simulator.
* [[Claustrophobia]]: Pierce doesn't like small spaces.
* [[The Computer Is Your Friend]]: S.A.N.D.E.R.S. is an eight bit image of the Colonel.
* [[Department of Redundancy Department]]: The simulator simulator.

* [[Foe Yay]]: Between the deans of Greendale and City.
* [[Freeze
* [[Freudian Excuse]]: Pierce's final outburst allude to this.
* [[Fruit Cart]]: Annie drives into one with the simulator.
* [[Fun
** A second example is the C.C.C.P ('''C'''ity '''C'''ollege '''C'''osmic '''P'''rogram), a [[Genius Bonus]] when you realize that '''C.C.C.P.''' are actually the English letter imitation of the Cyrillic name for the USSR. "C.C.C.P." was placed on the helmet of the first man Russia actually sent into space.
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: The flag design was a little too good at this.
{{quote|
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: Turns out Pierce's dad [[Community
* [[Hypocritical Heartwarming]]: After finding out that {{spoiler|City College had the space station simulator towed}}.
{{quote|
* [[Homage]]
** The opening scene , where the student runs in and tells the dark conference room that City College has a space simulator, is an homage to the opening scene in ''[[The Right Stuff]]'', complete with the room's inhabitants acknowledging that they already know the Russians successfully sent a man into space...er, that City College has a simulator.
** It turns into an homage to ''[[Apollo 13]]'' after the gang gets trapped in the simulator.
* [[Last

'''Shirley:''' That's nice! }}
* [[Made of Explodium]]: As soon as the gang gets back to campus, the simulator catches fire.
* [[Mission Control]]: Abed plays this to the gang after they get stuck in the simulator.
* [[Power Walk]]: Abed has the entire group do one in slow motion.
{{quote|
* [[The Power of Friendship]]: Only with teamwork is the simulation beaten.
* [[Product Placement]]: It's pretty much a giant commercial for KFC. However, the crew actually approached KFC about it, since they thought the space bus being bluntly sponsored by some product would be funnier.
* [[Rousing Speech]]: Jeff's "Greendale is our toilet" speech.
{{quote|
'''Annie''': Seriously? }}
* [[Schmuck Bait]]
{{quote|
* [[Serious Business]]: Abed demands people get their slow walk right. Also the Dean's response to City College's space simulator.
* [[Ship Tease]]: Britta/Troy and Pierce/Jeff fall into each others arm.
* [[Shout
* [[Space Madness]]: Pierce succumbs to it when the group is locked in the space simulator.
* [[The Space Race]]: The competition between Greendale and City College to be the first community college to put a student in fake space.
Line 56:
* [[Stuff Blowing Up]]: {{spoiler|The fate of the simulator}}
* [[Take That]]
{{quote|
* [[Too Kinky to Torture]]: Milder than most, but the Dean interprets Jeff threats to step on him as some kind of pleasure to enjoy.
* [[What Do You Mean
* [[Why Don't You Marry It?]]: Pierce's retort to Annie standing up for Greendale.
