Howard receives a call from NASA saying that his mission to the International Space Station has been cancelled due to problems with the Soyuz capsule during a pressurization test. He is ecstatic as he is actually terrified of going to space and looks forward to his wedding. However he later receives another call from NASA saying that he will be sent to space after all as they want his telescope on the International Space Station, though his launch date will be pushed up to the Friday before his wedding. He decides to talk to Bernadette's father to postpone the wedding. To his surprise, Mike strongly approves of him going to space and reveals that he did not think that he was suitable for Bernadette until he heard about the space mission. Meanwhile, Leonard and Penny decide to take their "beta test" relationship to the next level by having sex. However Leonard proposes to Penny during sex as a result of which Penny becomes extremely upset. After unsuccessfully trying to pacify her, he leaves her apartment. Later when the couple meet each other in the apartment stairwell, Penny says no to Leonard's wedding proposal, though they will still date. Elsewhere, Amy tries to use transference to increase Sheldon's feelings for her by making him happy using his love for various other topics (his mother's cooking, video games etc.). Amy's actions seem to work on Sheldon who is not happy about it but makes no attempt to stop her.

"JA! Ich werde nicht im All drauf gehen! Ich sterbe so, wie Gott es vorgesehen hat und zwar hoch in den 50ern an einer Herz-Insuffizienz."
"Es gibt nur eine bewusstseinserweiternde Droge, die mir Spass macht, und die nennt sich Wissenschaft."
 Howard bekommt einen Anruf von der NASA, dass seine Weltraummission wegen technischer Probleme abgesagt wird. Er gibt vor enttäuscht zu sein, ist insgeheim aber froh darüber, da er doch Angst hatte ins All zu fliegen. Er widmet sich nun den Hochzeitsvorbereitungen, in deren Zuge Leonard auf die Idee kommt, Penny im Bett einen Heiratsantrag zu machen, den diese natürlich wenig begeistert ablehnt. Howard gerät schließlich in die Zwickmühle, als die NASA die Pläne wieder ändert und er sogar noch vor dem geplanten Hochzeitstermin aufbrechen soll. Er versucht Gründe zu finden nicht zu fliegen und spricht sogar mit Bernadettes Vater in der Hoffnung, dass dieser ihm verbieten wird, die Hochzeit mit seiner Tochter zu verschieben. Sein Plan geht aber nicht auf, da sowohl Bernadette als auch ihr Vater ihn ermutigen die Mission ins Weltall anzutreten. Sheldon hat unterdessen ein anderes Problem: Amy versucht, Sheldon mit neurobiologischen Kniffen enger an sich zu binden, indem sie angenehme Kindheitserinnerungen und Sheldons Liebe für Star Trek und Eisenbahnen benutzt, um die gemeinsame Zeit für ihn so schön wie möglich zu gestalten und damit Sheldons Emotionen in Zuneigung ihr gegenüber zu verwandeln. Sheldon durchschaut ihre Strategie einerseits genau, kann sich andererseits dennoch nicht dagegen wehren.

Howard recibe la noticia de que la misión de la NASA se ha suspendido porque la cápsula de la Soyuz no ha pasado la prueba de presurización, y lo celebra con entusiasmo, pues en realidad está aterrorizado con el viaje al espacio, y lo que quiere es celebrar su boda con Bernadette.
Más tarde, en plena sesión romántica con su novia, recibe una nueva llamada anunciándole que será enviado en un vuelo anterior, pues necesitan su telescopio en la Estación Espacial Internacional, el viernes previo al domingo de la boda. Howard busca todo tipo de escusas para no ir a la misión, incluyendo al padre de Bernadette, que reconoce que desde que es astronauta ya lo ve adecuado para su hija, sin éxito. Finalmente consigue un informe médico negativo, al recordar intencionadamente a su madre durante una medida de tensión arterial.
Leonard y Penny por su parte tienen otra discusión pues Leonard le pregunta, en pleno acto sexual, si quiere casarse con él, lo que hace que ella se enfade mucho. Días después vuelve a hacerle la pregunta en un encuentro casual en la escalera, a lo que Penny responde, después de un beso apasionado, que no, pero que seguirán siendo novios.
Amy quiere avanzar en su relación con Sheldon recurriendo a su bolsa neurológica de trucos, con música romántica -Super Mario Bros.-, batido de fresa, y espaguetis como los que le hacía su madre. Cuando mas contento está Sheldon, cae en la cuenta de que Amy se ha embarcado en una campaña para incrementar sus sentimientos por ella, haciéndole feliz. Lo comenta con Leonard, y ambos reflexionan sobre sus dificultades, cada uno a su manera, con las mujeres.
El capítulo termina con Sheldon tumbado en el sofá y Amy con uniforme de enfermera estilo Star Trek, jugando a médicos. Sheldon le hace un gesto a Leonard, y le dice que es un infierno, pero inmediatamente le pide a Amy que no pare.

La NASA avverte Howard che la missione è stata cancellata: alla notizia sembra molto deluso, ma quando chiude la chiamata festeggia in quanto in realtà era terrorizzato dall'idea di andare nello spazio. Mentre studia con la futura moglie gli ultimi preparativi per il matrimonio, la NASA lo avverte che ha deciso di imbarcare Howard e il telescopio sulla missione che parte entro pochi giorni. Howard tenta in tutti i modi di sganciarsi accampando come scusa i preparativi ormai fatti per il matrimonio (in modo da non dover rivelare la sua paura), ma Bernadette gli dice di non voler iniziare la loro vita da sposati imponendogli questa rinuncia. Ormai a corto di idee, Howard dice di voler andare lui a comunicare il fatto al padre di Bernadette, in modo da poter usare la quasi certa furia di lui come scusa per non partire che però invece che infuriarsi, gli dice che all'inizio non aveva una grande opinione di lui, ma che poi è cambiata quando ha saputo della missione; impone quindi ad Howard di compiere il proprio dovere. Nel frattempo Leonard chiede a Penny di sposarlo mentre sono a letto, mandando la ragazza su tutte le furie. Contemporaneamente, Sheldon è a cena da Amy che gli rivela che vuole tentare un esperimento che porterà Sheldon ad intensificare i suoi sentimenti verso di lei e ci riesce usando tutte cose che rimandano alla sua infanzia e a momenti felici.

 Quotes from this Episode:
Howard: Well, that's it. My orders have been rescinded. I am officially no-go to space.
Leonard: I'm sorry, Howard. But I gotta tell you, I'm a little relieved you're not going.
Howard: Why?
Leonard: Come on, you were gonna go up in a rocket designed in the 1960's by the Russians.
Howard: Yeah, so?
Leonard: When was the last time you were at Best Buy and you heard someone say, "Ooh, check out this Blu-Ray player, it must be good, it was built in Russia"?
Sheldon: I must say, I was surprised you chose to spend our Date Night in your apartment. As I mentioned, the Pasadena City Council is debating longer crosswalk times, and later the Lego store is having a Midnight Madness Sale. You ask anyone, that's a hot date.
Amy: Tempting choices but, I have something special planned for tonight.
Sheldon: What can be more special than having an adequate amount of time to cross the street on your way to buy a tiny Lego Indiana Jones?
Amy: With our friends moving forward in their relationships, I have decided that we should make progress in ours as well.
Sheldon: Dear Lord! Two years ago we didn't even know each other. And now, I'm in your apartment after dark. How much faster can this thing go?
Amy: I had a feeling you'd be reluctant which is why I'm going to dip into my neurobiological bag of tricks.
Sheldon: Oh! You brain monkeys kill me. Dip away!
Amy: I've devised an experiment that I believe will increase your feelings for me, in an accelerated time frame.
Sheldon: And how do you propose to do that? I hope you're not thinking about some sort of LSD thought control. Because there's only one mind-expanding drug that this man enjoys, and that's called school.
Amy: Human beings form emotional attachments as they grow up. In your case, to your mother, superheroes, etc. I'm going to attempt an experiment that will get you to transfer those feelings to me.
Sheldon: Well, seems what's on the menu tonight is malarkey, with a big side of poppycock.
Amy: We'll see. Let's start with a little romantic dinner music, shall we? [turns on the music]
Sheldon: Super Mario Bros. theme?
Amy: Yes.
Sheldon: I see what you're doing. You're attempting to build on the work of Ebbinghaus by triggering an involuntary memory of me playing that game. Admittedly the happiest 600 hours of my childhood. But it won't work!
Amy: Fine. There's no reason we still can't have a lovely dinner. Why don't you have a seat? [as Sheldon crosses to his chair he hums along and Amy grins] May I offer you something to drink?
Sheldon: You know I don't drink.
Amy: Not even, strawberry Quik?
Sheldon: I love strawberry Quik. It's my favorite pink fluid. Narrowly beating out Pepto-Bismol.
Amy: Oh, I know. I think it will go nicely with what I have prepared for dinner.
Sheldon: Spaghetti with little pieces of hot dog cut up in it!
Amy: Just like your mommy used to make.
Sheldon: Oh! Yummy yummy! We should do this more often. [Realizes something] Uh-oh! [Amy beams]
