Dialogue[edit]

Pt. 1[edit]

After completing Aim for the Czars So Augustus, I assume since you want to make your trip to space as uncool as possible... You're gonna dress up and act like an astronaut on your spaceship even though you're not actually doing anything to operate the ship? Oh, I'm not going on the spaceship. Really? Who would be more uncool to have on your spaceship than you? Hello comrades! No. You are NOT using Rasputin the Friendly Russian as your astronaut. Da! He is! In Russia, spaceship flies YOU! Task: "Collect Space Helmets" (x115). If Augustus Redfield is owned: Task: "Make Augustus Laugh at Reworked Yakov Smirnoff Jokes". The job takes place at Redstar Headquarters and takes 4 hours. Task: "Make Lisa Suspiciously Eye Rasputin". The job takes place at the Simpson House, Future Simpson's House, Simpson Houseboat, Outlands Simpsons House, or a Visitable Home and takes 4 hours. I know you billionaires are competitive, but when it comes to having an uncool astronaut for his spaceship, I think Augustus has got this locked up. Think again! Oh come on. An astronaut more uncool than Rasputin the Friendly Russian? Uh-uh. Doesn't exist. This spacesuit is a bit snug. Isn't there any size larger than XXXL? I stand corrected. Quest reward: 100 and 10 Gold Bars

Pt. 2[edit]

After completing Pt. 1 I've gotta hand it to you billionaires, you really know how to be uncool. You've managed to find the only two characters people wouldn't like as astronauts more than you. Ha...the ONLY two? I literally just read through the entire character list on Tapped Out. There's no one else uncool enough to be your astronaut. How about...you? Me? But I've dedicated my life to trying to make the world a better place by pointing out the flaws and inequities in everyone else's plans! And you think that's cool? Okay, I see it now. Maybe I'm not as cool as I thought... But at least I'll be going to space! Woo-hoo! Task: "Collect Space Helmets" (x115). Task: "Make Lisa Prep a "One Small Step For Woman" Speech". The job takes place at the Simpson House, Future Simpson's House, Simpson Houseboat, Outlands Simpsons House, or a Visitable Home and takes 4 hours. Man, my competitors have really stepped it up with their picks of uncool astronauts. I gotta find someone who can top them. Ahem. Ahem, ahem. Homer...you're bumbling, you're pitiful, but you're also lovable! You're just not uncool enough to fly my spaceship. Listen, Mister Level forty-five update! If you wanna be back here before Level forty-five hundred, you'll do the right thing. Well, I suppose I HAVE always wanted to send you into space. The only difference is in this scenario you'll be coming back. Maybe. Quest reward: 100 and 10 Redstar Helicopter

Pt. 3[edit]

After completing Pt. 2 So Rasputin, you ready to begin training for this amazing space journey? Sorry, but Rasputin isn't allowed to work in Springfield. His green card expired. So did my housekeeper's. That doesn't mean she's not still cleaning my toilets! Task: "Collect Space Helmets" (x155). If Quimby is owned: Task: "Make Quimby Fine Augustus for Illegal Hiring". The job takes place at the Court House, International Court of Justice, Town Hall, or a Visitable Home and takes 4 hours. Task: "Make Homer Get a Bargain on Rasputin's Spacesuit". The job takes place at the Court House, International Court of Justice, Town Hall, or a Visitable Home and takes 4 hours. With Augustus out of the competition, winning this thing should be a breeze. Comic Book Guy, let's get you in this spaceship! How? Through that little hatch? It's smaller than the car door of a Miata! Doesn't this space capsule come in any size larger than XXXL? Quest reward: 100 and 10 Augustus Redfield's Mansion

Pt. 4[edit]

After completing Pt. 3 Lisa, you seem weirdly excited to fly into deep space to help out a billionaire tomorrow. That's because when I'm up there, I'm going to record a series of TikToks showing the fragility of the Earth... Which thanks to my credibility with the under-10 set will ensure the outlawing of fossil fuels by 2063. Sorry Lisa, but tomorrow you won't be in space. You'll be in detention. What? Why? For making other children feel discomfort, guilt, and psychological distress for their position on the environment. Liberals don't have a monopoly on feeling triggered! Task: "Collect Space Helmets" (x115). Task: "Make Lisa Sit in Detention". The job takes place at Springfield Elementary, Springfield High School, Shelbyville Elementary, or a Visitable Home and takes 4 hours. All the other astronauts are eliminated! That means I, Homer Simpson, am going to space! Again! Don't forget your carbon rod! And watch out for those ants! Guys, no one knows what you're talking about. Well I'M talking about floating potato chips! GUYS. No one is getting the references. "Deep Space Homer" was season five...from NINETEEN NINETY-FOUR! There is no one playing this game who was alive when it aired. Now let me prepare for my space flight in peace! You gonna listen to some James Taylor to get in the mood? ENOUGH! Quest reward: 100 and 10 Redstar Barge

Pt. 5[edit]

After completing Pt. 4 Heh, I'm the last one with an astronaut. Nothing can stop me now from winning the billionaire deep space race! Except not reading the fine print on your spaceship lease. Excuse me? "ABC Spaceship Leasing reserves the right to revoke the lease anytime." I know it well 'cause I wrote it. YOU own ABC Spaceship Leasing? Argh! I knew a $79 spaceship lease was too good to be true. I'll take the keys to the spaceship now. And can you remove the Club from the steering wheel? Task: "Collect Space Helmets" (x195). If Artie Ziff is owned: Task: "Make Artie Ziff Remove the Club". The job takes place at ZiffCorp Office Building, Space Training Center, or a Visitable Home and takes 4 hours. If Augustus Redfield is owned: Task: "Make Augustus Redfield Give Artie a Free Pen". The job takes place at ZiffCorp Office Building, Space Training Center, or a Visitable Home and takes 4 hours. Task: "Make Homer Prep For Launch". The job takes Redstar Headquarters, Space Training Center, or a Visitable Home. Augustus, I've put on that impressively fake-looking spacesuit you got, and I've used the bathroom. I'm ready to go to deep space! Where's the spaceship by the way? It's right in front of you. All I see is a pile of carbon fiber composite debris. That's what happened when we tried to tow it here on the back of a truck. Just imagine what it would look like if we actually tried to launch it. So I'm not going to deep space? And you don't get to be the uncoolest billionaire in the world? Eh, it was wishful thinking. But no matter how uncool I became, I was never gonna be as uncool as Elon Musk. Quest reward: 100 and 10 Space Station
