NASA astronaut and frequent Tool Time guest Ken Bowersox comes on the show to announce that NASA will be using a Binford tool on the next shuttle mission. Better yet, one lucky Binford employee will be chosen to go into space to operate the tool. Tim and Al both head to Houston for astronaut training in hopes of being picked for the mission. But when Tim learns that Mark is going through some tough times back in Detroit, he decides to quit the space race so he can be there for his son.
