Man in the Moon
6.0
William Blood is an unsuccessful guinea pig for a medical group interested in researching the common cold. He's soon fired and offered a job by the nearby National Atomic Research Center where they figure anyone who could fail at being a guinea pig is just what they need. They con William into thinking he'll continue his experimenting career by testing equipment for them before they send a group of astronauts to the moon.
