Seriously, though, sign me all the way up for this. Or, beam me up. Whichever. I'm there either way.

Feels like there's going to be a headline in 2022 that reads TOM CRUISE'S CORPSE RECOVERED IN SPACE

No way the Scientologists let that happen.

It's only fitting that Tom gets to be the one to do this.

Looking forward to seeing where this goes.

This was literally the final frontier left for Cruise. The absolute madman.

Isn't this just the plot for the under-rated Tom Cruise movie Oblivion?

I already know that when he's being chased in space, he'll hit the brakes and they'll fly right by.

Guess we will see an end credit scene in Top Gun of Maverick getting strapped into a rocket.

Ohhh. A friend of ours works at NASA teaching astronauts in various things like safety procedures, etc.

She told us a couple weeks ago she was going to be teaching a big named actor to go to space but she couldn't tell us who.

i know it's got to be just a coincidence, but funny timing with Elon going all wacky the last week, claiming that he is going to get rid of his earthly possessions, etc.

It's little wonder why Tom wanted Joseph Kosinski as they director of Maverick.

Lots of Tom haters out there and with his Scientology connections it's easy to understand why, but dude is a once in a generation bad ass action movie star.

Serious question - what can they accomplish in space that they couldn't accomplish with practical/special effects? I watched part of Apollo 13 the other day and the weightless scenes are totally believable in a movie from 25 years ago. With a finite # of people on board whatever they're going to launch Tom up there in, what happens if he gets sick or the cameraman does or the camera breaks?

I can pretty confidently say that most of this board reveres Tom as a national treasure.

Good thing it's Tom Cruise instead of Matt Damon. If it was Damon, something would definitely go wrong and we'd have to launch a billion dollar worldwide effort to rescue him.

After it is all said and done, Tom Cruise's legacy is going to be unmatched I think.

I was about to ask you if this was part of Mission impossible 8 Or is this something beyond that?

Completely separate, though a few of the same players.

So his next 4 movies are

Top Gun 2
MI7
MI8
Space Movie

Oh man.. this will be incredible - dude is going out strong - probably will be 62 years old or so when it get to the Space Movie? Wow
TCTTS

Yep. Gonna be a great run. It's looking something like this...

2021 - Top Gun: Maverick
2021 - Mission Impossible 7
2022 - Mission Impossible 8
2023 - Space Movie

Could be 2024 before we get the space movie, so he'll be like 61/62 years old around then. He's 58 now.
