Meteor is the smallest mouse of all, and the others are sure he won't be picked, until the shuttle commander surprises everyone by choosing him for the sixth spot. In space the other mice cling to their cage in terror while Meteor loves floating, and then a key gets stuck where no astronaut can reach it.
