Homer is infuriated, and starts to feel dejected that no one likes him.

However, when Barney toasts his victory with champagne, he reverts back to his normal alcoholic self and injures himself, although the champagne was non-alcoholic.

He talks with <a href="/wiki/Marge" class="mw-redirect" title="Marge">Marge</a> on the phone, and she says that he ought to take advantage of going into space. He agrees and the launch proceeds. To NASA's delight, it is a Nielsen ratings smash. </p><p>When on the shuttle, Homer smuggles potato chips on board. He opens the bag, but is unaware that they will clog the instruments. His appetite seems to save the day as he floats after the chips in zero-G, but he flies into an ant farm, destroying it, and letting the ants loose in the shuttle. <a href="/wiki/James_Taylor_(character)" title="James Taylor (character)">James Taylor</a> comes in over the radio to sing a song, but the disaster continues on board as the ants destroy the navigation system. James Taylor suggests that they blow the bugs out the front hatch, which the astronauts do, but Homer fails to put on his "shuttle belt" and is nearly blown out of the open hatch before grabbing its handle and clinging for life. Buzz pulls him inside but due to the vacuum's sheer force, Homer breaks the hatch handle. He inadvertently uses a carbon rod to seal the door shut and they return to Earth. </p><p>Although Buzz Aldrin declares Homer the hero, the press see the inanimate carbon rod as being the bigger hero. The rod is then featured on magazine covers with the headline "In Rod We Trust" and is given its own ticker-tape parade. Back at home, Homer is disappointed that he did not get as much respect as he had hoped, but the family still honors him for his achievement. </p> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Production">Production</span><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Deep_Space_Homer&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Production">edit</a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></h2> <p>"Deep Space Homer" was written by then-executive producer <a href="/wiki/David_Mirkin" title="David Mirkin">David Mirkin</a> and is his only writing credit for <i>The Simpsons</i>.
