NARRATOR: Help all kids
learn and grow with PBS Kids.

Thank you for supporting
your PBS station.

[THEME SONG] (SINGING)
Ready, Jet, Go.

Jet Propulsion, that's his name.

Jet Propulsion,
the rocket to fame.

When he arrived, he created a
buzz 'cause there was no house,

and then there was.
He said.

People of Earth you
ain't seen nothin' yet.

I'm from Bortron
and my name is Jet.

Jet propulsion.

That's his name.

He looks like us but
he isn't the same.

I'm a space tripper
and a galaxy crosser.

My parents brought me
here in a flying saucer.

And just to prove
it was effective

flew them out to space and
back with Jet Propulsion.

Jet Propulsion.

Ready, Jet, Go.

He showed up and
now it's a blast.

Looks like the future
really got here fast.

Nice to meet ya human race.

Tell me all about the place.

Jet Propulsion.

Jet Propulsion.

Jet Propulsion.

Ready, Jet, Go.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

JET PROPULSION: Space.

The mysterious alien space.

It's the ultimate frontier.

[EERIE MUSIC]

Wow, I had no idea that
something like this

even existed.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Oh.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

Oh, agh.

[BUBBLING]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Heh, heh, heh.

[WATER BUBBLING]

Ow.

[FLUTE MUSIC]

[SQUEAKING]

These Earth fish
are fascinating.

They somehow breathe
under all this water?

Yep.

You know we have
lungs to breathe air?

They breathe under
water with gills.

See?

Hello gill-breathing
Earth fish.

Another amazing example
of this cool other world

under the water.

Did you know that most of
the Earth is covered in oceans?

What?

Whoa.

Really?

Really.

Our planet's surface
is mostly water.

Wow, Earth, the water planet.

[BUZZING AND SQUEAKING]

I still can't believe this world
we discovered under the water.

It's so different
from my home planet.

I mean, what--

[WATCH BUZZER]

Ah, it's my cousins
Zerk calling again.

[WHIRRING]

[WATCH BUZZER]
Hey Zerk.

ZERK (ON WATCH-COM): Ah, Jet.

You never visit.

Ah, I'm fine, Zerk.

How are you?

ZERK (ON WATCH-COM): Yeah, I
mean, like, I never see you,

Jet.
Jet, Jet, Jet, Jet.

Right.

That's because I'm
on another planet

that orbits around another star
in another part of the galaxy.

ZERK (ON WATCH-COM): Yeah, well,
I'll see you soon though, Jet.

Because I heard that your family
is moving back to Bortron .

What?

We're moving back to Bortron ?

ZERK (ON WATCH-COM):
Bye, Jet, bye.

I'll see you soon on Bortron .

Zerk out.

What does Zerk know?

We are not moving
back to Bortron .

Ah.
[WHISTLING]

Ah.
Hm.

What are those doing out?

CARROT: Well, Celery,
I got the suitcases out

so we can go back to Bortron .

CELERY: Oh, Bortron ,
the lovely red sunrises.

CARROT: Mm-hm, those
purple mountain majesties.

And don't forget
the fun of going out

on the town to get the classic.
- Yes.

The classic three-part
Bortronian meal.

A hoagie, figanoes,
exploding shake.

What a fantastic deal.

[BOINK]

[WHOOSH]

CELERY: We will
definitely go get

one when we're there tomorrow.
- Tomorrow?

[WATCH BUZZER]

Hello, Carrot speaking.

Oh, hi, Dr. Rafferty.

What can I do for you?

Ah, oh, no, Sunspot, we're
about to leave planet Earth.

[SQUEAKING]
But we can't.

I love Boxwood Terrace.

I just made these best friends.

We can't go back home.

Any id-- Mom and Dad are
clearly getting ready to go.

[SQUEAKING]

We-- we just can't move away.

We gotta stop them somehow.

[BELLS CHIMING]

Wait.

They can't fly the
house back to Bortron

if they can't fly the house.

And they can't fly
house if they can't

start it with the house remote.

[BUZZING]

What's Jet up to?

Ah, ah.

[BUZZING]

Ha.

SEAN: Ah, Jet, why are you
digging a hole in the ground?

Sean, Sydney, I
just heard my parents

say that we're moving
back to Bortron .

- What?
- Oh, no.

- That's terrible.
- It is terrible.

You're my friends.

You're really, really
important to me.

You're really important
to us, too, Jet.

You can't go now.

I agree.

So I'm hiding the house
remote in this hole

so they won't be
able to start it.

Ah, I don't know, Jet.

They might find it here.

Maybe we should throw it
in the middle of the lake.

Great plan, Sean.
Let's do it.

You guys, don't panic.

Jet, maybe you heard wrong.

Why don't you go back in
and ask your parents first?

Oh, Carrot, I can't
find the remote.

How am I supposed
to start the house?

- Ah.
- Me?

CARROT: Yeah, that'd be fine.

Enjoy your conference,
Dr. Rafferty.

Yeah, send him right
over, no problem.

Oh.

Well, that was incredibly fast.

Well, good news kids.

Sean and Sidney are staying over
at our house for the weekend,

which is funny.

Because it just so happens that
our house will be on Bortron

this weekend.

Because we're flying it there.

We're going back to
Bortron and we're

taking Sean and Sydney?

Exactly.

Wait, we're going where?

Bortron .

Please, I don't want
to move away from Earth.

I love it here.

And Sean and Sydney's
parents will miss them

if they move back with us too.
- Oh.

No, no.
- Ah, no, no.

Oh, it's just for
the weekend, Jet.

We only need to fly back
for our annual meeting

of the intergalactic
travel writers.

Right.

And then we're
coming right back.

Oh.

What a relief.

[SQUEAKING]

You know, come to think of
it, I miss Bortron , too.

A weekend there sounds
really fun, you guys.

SEAN: Can I say something?

Sure, Sean.

OK, ahem.

We're going to Bortron ?

Right, that's--
that's what we said.

But it's far,
really, really, far.

I mean, the moon is
OK and maybe Mars.

But another part of the galaxy?

Oh, oh, oh, we can get
you there and back in almost

no time will have passed.

We'll make it back
Sunday morning

before your parental units get
back from their conference.

Peasy easy as
you Earthlings say.

Wow, really?

And it's easy peasy to cross
the galaxy on a weekend.

Sean, think of all
the things we'll see.

Think of all the
scientific discoveries.

Think of what Bortron has
that Earth doesn't have.

Hm.

We could make a plan, a list of
terrific scientific questions.

Yes, to compare planet
Earth with Bortron .

(SINGING) Is my planet
like your planet?

How can we tell them apart?

(SINGING) So man things to
see, lot's of discoveries.

So let the questions start.

(SINGING) What do
Bortronian's look like?

Are there really
different creatures there?

(SINGING) Do they talk just
like the Propulsion's do?

Do they all have
the same red hair?

(SINGING) And what about plants
and leaves and trees, are

they scrubby and low or tall?

(SINGING) Oo, and
what about oceans, do

they even have oceans at all?

(SINGING) We have a moon.

(SINGING) And we have three
small kind of purple and dark.

They're something to see.

(SINGING) There's no
planet like my planet.

But it's fun to try
and tell them apart.

So many things to see
on self-discoveries.

So let the questions
start. yeah.

OK, I admit it.

I am convinced by
the power of song.

I can't believe I'm saying
this, but let's go to Bortron .

[CHEERING]

CARROT: All right, Sean.

SEAN: OK, g*ng, but remember, we
have to get back here by Sunday

morning before my parents
and Sean's parents

get back from their
science conference.

I'm setting the alarm
on my watch, OK?

[CHIMING]

Yes, we're going
back to Bortron .

Ah, I hope I
don't regret this.

Sean, you're going on
an epic space adventure

with the Propulsion's.

What could possibly go wrong?

[ENGINE STARTING]

[TIRES SQUEALING]

[HORN HONKING]

- Hey, Jet.
- Hey Sean.

Hey Sydney.

All packed up for
Bortron I see.

Yes, I'm so excited.

I packed my Commander Cressida
comics, issues - , and a ton

of art supplies so I
can draw my own comics,

a Bortron adventure.

And I packed my Neil
Armstrong action figure.

JET AND SYDNEY: Of course.

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

CARROT: Hello and welcome.

Take a peek at the loveliest
thing you've seen all week.

Unusual, beautiful,
cool, and surprising.

This Goldilocks
planet is mesmerizing.

Oo, it's not too hot
and not too freezing.

It's air is suitable
for breathing.

Whoa.

[BAAING]

CARROT: Yep, not too big.

And not too small.

And planet Earth is
what it's called.

Woo.

Planet Earth.

What a cool planet.

CARROT: Well, g*ng,
with this Bortronian

power cube presentation,
we should really

impress our Bortron boss.

It's into the bag,
as you Earthies say.

This will be the best travel
presentation they've ever seen.

Oh, yep.

We can't fail.

Right Sunspot?

Right Face?

Hm, well, Bortronian
power cubes are apparently

all the rage these days.

I personally think
D is overrated.

What's wrong with an
extremely handsome flatscreen

is what I'd like to know?

I think Face is a
little, what's the Earth

word, jealous that
mom and dad didn't

ask him to do the presentation.

All righty then.

The clock is burning
daylight, as you Earthies say.

Let's turn this house
back into the mother ship

and fly straight to Bortron .

[WHIRRING AND CLANKING]

Wait, Celery, you're
about to turn the house back

into a flying saucer?

CELERY: Right.

We call it the mother ship.

But what happens when the
mother ship leaves here?

Will it just be an
empty lot again?

Yep, just like before we
came here in the first place.

SEAN: But, what will
the neighbors think?

Yeah, what about Mitchell?

Oh, yeah, Mitchell
probably would

notice that the house is gone.

We should do
something about that

so Mitchell isn't suspicious.
- Yes.

It's our number one rule as
intergalactic travel writers.

Don't freak out the locals.

[CREAKING AND CRASHING]

Oh, ah.

I've got an idea.

MINDY: Wait, what's going on?

There's two houses.

Almost perfect.

There.

It's a projection
of our house, Mindy.

Actually it's called a hologram.

Because it only looks
like it's really there.

A hologram?

Oo, can I help?
- Sure.

In fact, while we're gone,
you can keep an eye on Jet

and make sure he's running
his hologram projection

so it looks like
our house is here.

When it actually isn't.

Yeah.

I'd love to.

Can I be in charge of Jet ,
sort of like I'm his boss?

Hello Boss.

Yes, hologram, fun.

This is so cool.

Let's see.

On.

Off.
On.

Off.

Got it.

We'll be a great team.

Right jet ?

[CLUNKING]

Deal, so cool.
On.

Off.

Fun.

Thanks Mindy.

We're up to Bortron .

[BOINK]
[WHOOSH]

Bye.

Bye.

Take pictures or
wait, take holograms.

JET, SEAN, SYDNEY: OK.

[WHIRRING]

Oh.

Everyone's here, Celery.

Time to start the house.

Everyone ready?

[WHIRRING]

Yeah.

- Ready.
- Ready.

Ah, I'm thinking.

I'm thinking.

[WHOOSHING AND WHIRRING]

Is this trip really necessary?

Yes, it is actually.
[GULP]

[INTENSE MUSIC]

[BOINK AND WHIRRING]

I wonder what Neil
Armstrong said before he--

Five, four, three, two, one.
Doors are shut.

Engines on.
Light are green.

Switches flipped.

Going on a light beam trip.

Trash is out.

Laundry's in.

Seatbelts on, tightly fit.

Check the fridge.
Turn around.

Windows up.
Hammers down.

Five, four, three, two, one.

Doors are shut.

Engines on.

Everybody in their place.

Let's go into outer space.

SEAN: Agh.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

All righty then, Jet .

Let's get that
holo thingy going.

Yes Boss.

Got it.

[WHIRRING]

Oh, that's very good, Jet
, except you need to move

it to the left just a little.

Ah.
That's good.

But you're kind of flickering.

Flickering, very good.

Move a little.

[WHIRRING]
- No.

Don't move at all.

[WHIRRING]

There.

OK, Jet .

I've got a flugelhorn lesson.

So I've got to go.

Just hold steady and
don't dance or anything.

Ugh.

Oh, hi, Mitchell.

Nothing to see here,
just the Propulsion house

looking perfectly normal.
[ELECTRICAL BUZZ]

Huh?
Hm.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[WHIRRING]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[SQUEAKING]
[BOING]

[FUNKY MUSIC]

Oh, wow.

Ah.

SYDNEY: Wow, this is so amazing.

Isn't it?

There's a whole navigation
station next to me

here where you can look ahead
and check the star maps.

Why don't you sit
down sit down, Sydney?

I'll teach you how to navigate.

That means figure out
which way we're going.

Ah, really?

Oh, my gosh.

Now, you push that button
there to access the maps.

So where are we now, Sydney?

Mars is up ahead
approaching fast.

Mars, the red planet.

Check.

SYDNEY: Next is
the asteroid belt.

CELERY: OK.
Our first challenge.

The mother ship isn't as nimble
navigating around asteroids

as the saucer, Sydney.

You can help me
steer around them.

Oh, it's a lot like
playing Astrotrack.

There's one, straight ahead.

[WHIRRING]

CELERY: Woo.

Ah, ho, ho, ho.
Woop.

Whoa.
JET PROPULSION: Ah.

- Whoa.
- Woo hoo.

[WHIRRING AND MUSIC]

You could become a
great space pilot someday.

Really?

Wow.

I could see that.

Now that we're
out in the open,

let's see what she can do.

[WHIRRING AND BUZZING]

Hey, was that Pluto just now?

That was Pluto.

Now it's just a little
dark spot in space.

[SQUEAK]
- Wow.

That means we're about to
leave our solar system.

JET PROPULSION: This
mother ship is fast.

Yep.

And now that the planets
are safely behind us,

we can set our course for
our home star, Bortron.

Oo, does this ship
have that big of a map?

Oh my, yes.

[WHIRRING]
Voila.

[WHIRRING AND CHIMING]

Ah.
Whoa.

Wow, is this our
arm of the galaxy?

CELERY: Absolutely
right, Sydney.

Here's where we are, the
yellow dwarf star, your sun.

SYDNEY: And here's
where we're going?

Right, the red
dwarf star, Bortron.

SEAN: Wow.

Whoops.

Hey, look, our planets.

[CHIMING]

Ah, now I'm homesick.

SYDNEY: Come on, Sean.

We're heading for Bortron .

JET PROPULSION: You'll get
to meet actual Bortronians.

(SINGING) And eat the
actual classic three-part

Bortronian meal.

(SINGING) What a fantastic deal.

[BUZZER]

- Whoa, look out.
- Whoopsy.

Whoa, there goes
Voyager , the farthest

reaching human spacecraft ever.

SYDNEY: This is it, Sean.

We're in interstellar
space, farther

than any human has ever gone.

Let's do this.

- Yeah, let's go to Bortron .
- Yes.

[TWANG]
- There.

I've set the controls for the
heart of the Bortron system.

Everyone ready?

Buckle up.

Because we're going
to go really fast.

Really fast?

Really fast.

Hey, you nervous, Sean.

I get nervous too when we go
into interstellar super drive.

Oh.

Wait, interstellar
super drive?

Mm-hm.

Whatever I get anxious,
I remember to breathe,

then I count to .

One, two, three-- ah.

[WHIRRING AND WHISTLING]

Whoa.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Oh, goodbye old sun.

We'll be back Sunday.

We will be back Sunday, right?

Heh, heh, heh, absolutely.

Heh, absolutely.

Absolutely.

[BLEEPING]

(SINGING) There's no
planet like my planet,

though I'm sure
that yours is nice.

Mine is warm and leafy green
with mountains, snow, and ice.

(SINGING) Mine has cities,
lakes, and deserts,

and purple mountains too.

And there's nothing
like our sunsets

when the sky turns red and blue.

(GROUP SINGING) There's
no planet like my planet.

(SINGING) Same for me.

(SINGING) Same for you.

(SINGING) There's no
planet like my planet.

Can't wait to land on
your planet so grand.

I bet I like your planet too.

Man, space is big.

Yeah, isn't this the best?

The opportunity of a lifetime.

I'm going to write a
book about it someday.

What are you going to do, Sean?

I'm gonna go to the bathroom.

[BOINK]

[ELECTRONIC SWISH]
Huh?

Ah, wow.

You guys, there's a room down
the hall with a desert in it.

Oh, that's the holo room.

We can program it to
look like any place.

I'll show you.

[BOINK]

SEAN: Ah, it's a hologram?
- Right.

Remember the hologram
of the house I made

and the galaxy map?

This is kind of the same thing,
like a movie you can walk into.

Wow.
Wait.

There's Little Dipper
Lake. back home.

Wow.

This is like a movie
you can walk into.

I didn't realize
how much I missed

green trees and blue water.

You're right, Sean.

Planet Earth is so green and
blue all covered in ocean's.

No wonder you miss it.

You know, I'm sure I'm going
to love visiting Bortron .

But if you don't mind,
I'm just going to sit here

by my Earth lake for a minute.
- OK.

Come on Sunspot.

[SQUEAKING]

Let's see if we're
getting close to Bortron.

[BOINK]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

MITCHELL: Cody, are you awake?

[GROWLING]
Me too.

I can't sleep.

I feel like something
strange is going on.

[SNORING]

Oh.

Cody, what's going on?

Jet's house, it-- it blinked.

Ah, now it's normal again.

I will not sleep.

I will stay awake--
[FAST SQUEAKING]

Until I spot any
change in Jet's house.

Are you with me, Cody?

[GROWLING AND WHIMPERING]
Good.

I knew I could count on you.

Oh.

cool.

OK, mom and dad, let's
run it one more time.

Remember, you have
got to get all

your Earth facts right so you'll
impress your Bortron boss.

[WHIRRING AND CHIMING]

What does that beeping mean?

It means we're coming out
of interstellar super drive.

We've arrived at
the Bortron System.

[DISTORTED WHIRRING]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Oh.

CELERY: Oh, the good
old Bortron System.

Let's count our
way in, shall we?

Sunspot.
[SQUEAKING]

(SINGING) Nine
planets orbit Bortron

and they're all tons of fun.

Some are tiny, some are room,
but gloomy, ha, not a one.

Because they orbit suck
a groovy red dwarf sun.

(GROUP SINGING) Bortron
is smooth as an egg.

Bortron is lump as a
muscle builder's leg.

There's Bortron , the
place where down is up.

There's not a drop
to drink there 'cause

it won't stay in the cup.

Bortron is swampy.

It's full of muck and goo.

Bortron is not alive.

There's nothing there to do.

Bortron is in a fix.

It's hard to grin and bear it.

It's moon has got the hiccups.
[HICCUPS]

(GROUP SINGING) And there's
no way to repair it.

[HICCUPS]

(SINGING) Nine
planets orbit Bortron.

They're all tons of fun.

But, oh, that Bortron , what a
slice of heaven in the Bortron

System, that's the only one.

Woo.

We're here.

[THUD]

Hang on, folks.

We're experiencing
a bit of turbulence.

SYDNEY: On it.

Thanks copilot, Sydney.

[INTENSE MUSIC AND BEEPING]

So no oceans at all?

CARROT: No, Bortron
is warmer than Earth.

It's pretty arid, that's
an Earth word for dry.

Why don't we see any cities?

Oh, we built our cities
to blend in with the planet

and make M look natural.

- Whoa, really?
- Yes.

We've been here
such a long time,

we learned how to preserve
the natural environment,

and sometimes even improve it.

In fact, we're flying over
Bortron's seventh capital city,

and yet you'd hardly
know it's there.

We are?

CELERY: We are.

Let's take her down
for a closer look.

[SHIP AIR SWOOP]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Wow.

Oh, oh, I can
see Bortronian's.

[MUSIC PLAYING AND SWOOSHING]

SEAN: Ha, look.

They're mowing the roof.

Just like Mr. Propulsion.

Of, course, doesn't everybody?

Hang on g*ng.

CARROT: We're here.

[SWOOSHING AND CRASH]

Woo hoo.

Yeah.
Oh, ho.

Home, sweet Bortronian home.

This is awesome.

SEAN: Wow, so
different from Earth.

Yeah, it's warm and dry.

And sweet smelling.

I wonder what kinds
of flowers they have?

Hm.

All the trees and
flowers are smaller

and everything's black
and purple and blue.

That's because they're
growing in the light

of our sun, a red dwarf star.

OK, we're only on
Bortron for a short time.

Let's make sure we see
and do everything we can.

Right.
Let's see.

What about plants
and leaves and trees?

Scrubby and low, not tall.

Oo, and what about oceans?

Do they even have oceans at all?
[SQUEAKING]

Eh, not really.

We have a moon,
but they have three.

See, small.

Kind of purple and dark.

Is my planet like your planet?

It's so fun to tell them apart.

It is.

So let's get out
there and do it all.

We can start by
heading downtown

to the intergalactic
travel writers headquarters

in one of these saucers.
[WHISTLE]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[WHIRRING]

JET PROPULSION: (SINGING)
That's how we roll on Bortron .

That's how we get it done.

We figured it out
a long time ago.

So there's plenty of time
for fun, yeah, plenty

of time for fun.

(SINGING) We once
built cities until

be buried the place till we
finally ran right out of space.

We never let it get us down.

Now our houses are
mostly underground.

(SINGING) Once we
wasted more than

we used just piling up trash.

We were really confused.

We finally solved it.

We didn't despair.

We recycled so you
never know it's there.

Making hats and phones
and bathing stones.

Now our garbage problem's teeny.

So, everyone here recycles?

Just like your Uncle Zucchini?

Hey, Celery, how
you doin', Sis?

Oh, we were just
singing about you.

What do you know?

Mind if we join in?

(GROUP SINGING) That's
how we roll on Bortron .

That's how we get it done.

We figured it out
a long time ago.

So there's plenty of time
for fun, yeah, plenty

of time for fun.

[WHIRRING]

[SQUEAKING]

Hey, Earthies.

Oh, it's so
wonderful to see you.

How you doin'?

Are you ready for your
big presentation, Sis?

Oh, I was born
ready, Zucchini.

Oh, Eggplant, lovely to see you.

Oh, we at the
intergalactic travel writers

are all very excited to see your
presentation about this planet

discovery of yours.

What is it called?
- Earth.

Earth, right.

Ha, and are you an Earthie?

Yep, me and Sean.

Auntie Eggplant worked
with my mom and dad.

Ah, hee, hi.

Hi, hi, hi, Earthie people.

I-- I-- I'm Zerk, Jet's cousin.

Right, hi Zerk.

Right.

What.

Jet, Jet, Jet, Jet.

Oh, my gosh, cousin.

You're back on Bortron .

I mean, just wow.

I mean, this is
amazing, astounding.

Ah, Jet, Jet, Jet, Jet, wow.
Gosh.

[WHIRRING]

Wow, everyone moves
differently here.

Is it the lower gravity?

Yeah, or something in the air.

Earthies.

I can't believe you
brought them, Jet.

I mean, they're adorable.

Watching them makes
me want to visit

this big, blue,
heavy, gravity planet

I've heard so much about.

Earth kid Sean.

Did you bring your Neil
Strong Arm action figure?

You mean--
SEAN: Neil Armstrong?

Yeah, here it is.

Ah, he's an astronaut, right?

I th-- I want to grow
up to be a Bortronaut

and discover things in space.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, easy, Zerk.

Handle it carefully.

It's vintage.
Wait, um--

Earth kid Sydney, I
mean, do you still draw

Command and Calisto comics?

It's Commander Cressida,
and, yes, I do, Zerk.

Ah, I just want to learn
all about your Earth ways

until I know just everything.

- Come on.
- Yeah.

Let's go.

Woo hoo.

Hey Jet, Jet, Jet, Jet.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[SNORING]

[CRASH]
- Ah.

The house is gone.

Dad, mom, Jet's house is gone.

[DOG WHIMPERING AND BARKING]

[WHIRRING]

Oh, dance.

- Hello Boss, yes.
- Huh?

What?

Jet .

[CRASH AND CHIMING]

Donuts?

No, Jet .

You're supposed to stay in the
driveway and project the house.

Hello, yes, Boss.

Now let's turn that
hologram thingy back on.

Quick.

[TWINKLE CHIMING]

So cool on a hologram thingy.

Mindy boss.

Oh.

Come on.

Oh.

Come on, dad.

Look.

Ah.

[BOINK]

Ah, nuts.
[YAWNING]

Now, what is it you want
me to look at, Peterson?

The Propulsion house.

Uh-huh, yeah, what about it?

Ah, there's-- there's
something very wrong with this.

What's wrong with this
is we're standing outside

and it's o'clock
in the morning.

But-- but-- fine.

I refuse to sleep until I have
proven that the Propulsion's

are aliens from another world.

(GROUP SINGING) What to
eat, oh, what to eat?

Galaxy crackers or
seven-ring meat.

When I get hungry,
you know how I

feel, like a classic
three-part Bortronian meal.

(SINGING) What to
eat, ha, what to eat?

A tasty treat that
can't be b*at.

(GROUP SINGING) On the
run or behind the wheel,

it's the classic
three-part Bortronian mean.

A hoagie, figanoes, exploding
shake, what a fantastic deal,

yeah.
[BIG BAND MUSIC]

[SQUEAKING]

[SQUEAKING, GRUNTING, FUNKY
HORNS]

Oh, whoa.

There.

Check, another
species of Bortronian.

Yup.

They're called Ararbloodlering.

Wow.

I'm glad we added eating
the classic three-part

Bortronian meal to our list.

It's really good.

[SQUEAKING]
ZERK: Yeah.

Ah, you want to see
how many figanoes I

can fit into my mouth at once?

Ah, no, Zerk, we don't.

Ah.

So it's going
to explode, right?

Not if I sip it
very carefully.

[SLURPING]
There see?

[SLURPING]
- Hey, Earthies.

Whoa.

You want a quick
tour of the planet?

[SLURPING]

Ah, ah, hey guys, can I take the
Earthies around and show them

how much better our planet is?

Oh, certainly, Zerk.

Carrot and I have to do
our presentation soon.

Right, just bring everyone
to the intergalactic travel

writers headquarters
when you're done.

Great, mom and dad.
Good luck.

Good luck.

So, Zerk, you
know how to drive?

Ha, te, yeah, since I was .

[WHIRRING]

Bye.

[HORN HONKING]

All right, should we
practice the Bortronian

power cube one more time before
we go to headquarters, hon?

Sure, although I
feel totally ready.

We'll crunch this thing.

Oh, ho, right.

[SLURPING]

Our Bortron boss will assign
us to stay on Earth for years.

Oh, ho, hoo.

Yeah.

I don't get it.

I thought you know that
after this presentation,

you'll be transferred to another
planet to write new stories.

[BOING]

Ah, we what?

We're done with Earth?

Well, sure.

The boss feels like there's
nothing else to learn about it.

Haven't you already seen it all?

Oh.

Oh, my gosh.

We're leaving Earth forever.

[expl*si*n]

[WHIRRING]

Ha, it's an amazing,
astounding view, huh?

Oh, look, our three moons.

And you have ah, eh, one?

Yeah, pft, that must be weird.

They have a great moon, Zerk.

Well, at least now you'll
be living here on Bortron

, which is, yeah, much better.

What are you talking about?

We're going straight
back to Earth

after mom and
dad's presentation.

Ah, what?

Didn't you know?

Mom says after this,
you're done with Earth.

What?

We're leaving Earth forever?

Yeah, because there's
nothing more to learn about it.

Oh, no.

Wait, isn't there
anything we can do?

Not according to my mom.

Oh, ah.
[SQUEAKING]

SYDNEY: Jet, what if your
mom and dad made the most

amazing presentation ever?

Yeah.

Maybe then their boss would
let them stay on Earth

and do more travel reports.

We just need to make it
the best, most amazing--

Great, funny.

Fact-filled presentation ever.

It needs to show more stuff
we never thought of that we

have to stay and right about.
- Yes.

I know, how about if we
compare the colors of Bortron

the colors of Earth?

You mean like Bortron
is purple and red?

And the earth is
green and blue with lots

and lots and lots of water.

Yes, water, the whole world
of water thing about Earth.

Ha, why I didn't think of that?

Oceans.

We gotta add lots of oceans.

[BARKING]

What is it, boy?

You know were there
were lots of oceans?

[SQUEAKING]

Oh, the holo room.

We can get all the oceans
we need for our presentation

there.
- There's not a moment to lose.

I've always wanted to see that.

Come on, Zerk.

Back to the house.
[WHIRRING]

And step on it.

I've always wanted
to see that, too.

[WHIRRING]

Oh, I told you.

Why don't I make
your presentation?

Just look at these.

[BOINK]

Ah.

This power cube could paint
the hologram of every body

of water on Earth.

Come on.

Excelsior.

No, power cube vixen.

Oh.

Come with us, Face.

You could help, too.
- Absolutely.

[TINKLING AND ELECTRONIC CHIMES]

[WHIRRING]

Wow, I love the way
this power cube works.

I want one for Christmas.

Whoa.

Look at her go.

OK, Sydney, how about this?

Earth is no ordinary planet.

Because what makes
a planet great?

Just add water.

Oh, that's perfect.

Just add water.

Yes, oceans,
lakes, rivers, and ah

what do they call those
things in the cities

that sh**t water in the air?
- Fountains?

Oh, ha ha, fountains.
Ha.

Fountains, I love it.

[WHIRRING]

Well, here we are at the
intergalactic travel writers

center.

Oh boy.

[TINKLING MUSIC]

Oo.

[ELECTRONIC BEEPING]

Come on, Hon.

We can do this.

Everything will be fine once
they see our presentation.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[BUZZER]

[METAL CLANKING]

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[WHIRRING]

- There, we're done.
- Whoa.

- Watch out.
- Ha, ha.

[HORN HONKING]

Oh, no.

FACE: Quick Sunspot,
flatscreens away.

[INTENSE MUSIC]

Great.

Now all we have to do is get
to the intergalactic travel

writer's headquarters.

Ah.

We're here.
[CLUNK]

Ugh, uh.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

[MUSIC WHINE]

[GROWLING]

Ta-da.

Oh, ah--

Zerk, wrong building.

Ah, whoops.

Come on.

[TINKLING AND BOINK NOISES]

Gotcha.

Just a minute.

Do not-- an incorrect--
[MEOW]

- Agh.
- Oh, no.

Oh.

[WHIRRING AND FUNKY MUSIC]

Yes.

Ah.

Wait.

What are you kids doing here?

They're in the middle
of their presentation.

A kid's place is
exploring space.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, mom.

What she said.

CARROT: And what's the
deal with Earth hot dogs?

They're aren't necessarily hot.

And there's no dog.

Oh, ho, ho, boy, we sure could
use some actual Earthie kids

right now.

Why didn't we bring them?

JET PROPULSION:
And they're here.

[WHIRRING AND PIANO MUSIC]

Oh, ho, that's right.

Here they are, real Earthies.

Ah.

Real Earthies.

Hey Bortron .

Planet Earth in the house.

Woo.

(SINGING) We've seen some planet
systems from Rigel to Arcturus.

We've stopped and
shopped at lots of spots

just like your average tourist.

(GROUP SINGING) We
toured the mighty Jupiter

and all his sons and daughters.

But then we found
this planet mostly

covered with liquid water.

Oh, liquid water?

(SINGING) Plus it's not too hot.

And no it's not too freezing.

(SINGING) Add to
which it's atmosphere

is suitable for breathing.

(GROUP SINGING) It's
really not to big

and really not too small.

And planet Earth is
what it's called.

(SINGING) Water just
falls from the sky.

Our word for it is rain.

Filling up our flatlands
and rolling down our plains.

(SINGING) There's lakes and
rivers everywhere and, wait,

what-- what do they call
those things in cities

that sh**t water in the air?

Fountains.

Oh, fountains.

(SINGING) Yeah, forget
that's it's got ice caps.

Forget about the mountains.

There's so much
water in this place,

it's sh**ting out of fountains.

(SINGING) So have you
been to planet Earth?

If not, well, the you oughter.

What makes this
planet Earth so great?

I'll tell you, just add water.

(GROUP SINGING) What makes
this planet Earth so great,

we'll tell you.

Just add water.

[CROWD CHEERING]

Look Sean.

I know.

Look at all the Sunspots.

[CROWD CHEERING]

[BOINK]

[SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE]

Where are my manners?

Now can you understand me?

Just add water.

Ha, ha, ha, wonderful.

What a toe tapper.

Propulsion's, I'm assigning
you an extended stay on Earth,

a truly fantastic planet.

[CROWD CHEERING]

[INTENSE MUSIC]

Right, right,
right, just add water.

I mean, it was
basically my idea.

I mean, basically and actually--

[SQUEAKING]

[WATCH BUZZER]

Oh, gosh.

We're gonna be late.

Celery, it's time to go.

We can't get home
after my parents.

Oh, I agree.

We gotta wrap it in and
return to the mother ship.

- I'll get Sean and Sunspot.
- I'll help.

Looks like you'll need it.

Booyah.
Science.

[CROWD CHEERING]

Come on, Sean.

Planet Earth?

Remember?

[WHIRRING]

Huh, we did it.

Now mom and dad get to write
more stories about Earth.

We still get to be
together, you guys.

Yes.

Even though we're
from different planets,

you're my best friends.

Come on, bring it in.

[WATCH BUZZER]

OK, let's go.
Let's go.

Let's go.

[WHIRRING]

[INTENSE MUSIC]

See you later.

Bye bye.

CELERY: Bye.

Bye.

[WHIRRING]

Booyah.

Science.

Booyah.

Science.

Booyah.

Science.

[WHIRRING]

CELERY: Well, turn it around.
- Wow.

Do I really sound like that?

Heh, heh, coolsome.

CELERY: Oh, get ready to blast
into intergalactic super-drive.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[WHIRRING AND BEEPING]

[SNORING]

Ah.

Oh, no.

Wake up Jet before
Mitchell gets up and sees

that Jet's house is gone.

Oh, where are they?

[WHIR]

I'm telling you, Jet and
his house have disappeared.

I think they're aliens who
have a magical house that

turns into a flying saucer.

[WHIRRING]

Oh.

[WHIRRING]
Oh no.

Oh no.

[FOREIGN NOISES]

Oh.

I didn't know there was
a solar eclipse today.

- Wow.
- What's happening?

[WHIRRING]

Oh.
Come on.

[FAMILY CHATTER]

Hi guys.

JET PROPULSION: Mindy.

CELERY: Wow, has everyone
come to welcome us back?

CARROT: Well, we are heroes
in the intergalactic travel

writers sense.

Hello people of Earth.

HI.

Well, I don't think
you have a fever.

You do have quite an
imagination though.

Dad.

You know I have no imagination.

Huh.

JET PROPULSION: How'd
it go with Jet , Mindy?

He was perfect.

is perfect.

[TIRES SQUEALING]

Hey kids.

How was your weekend?

We mostly hung
around the house.

But we didn't explore
the neighborhood a little.

The galactic
neighborhood, that is.

Ah, what a great
imaginative bunch of kids.

Yeah, they're certainly right.

You are great imaginative kids.

Thanks to your quick
thinking, we all

get to stay in Boxwood
Terrace, planet

Earth for another season.

Apparently you
can't get rid of us.

Because we're
the Propulsion's.

And we're staying on Earth.

What a cool planet.

(PROPULSION'S SINGING) There's
no planet like our planet.

Though I'm sure
that yours is nice.

(SEAN AND SYDNEY SINGING)
Ours is warm and leafy green

with mountains, snow, and ice.

(PROPULSION'S SINGING) We have
cities, lakes, and deserts,

and purple mountains too.

(GROUP SINGING) And
there's nothing like out

sunsets when the sky
turns red and blue.

There's no planet
like my planet.

Same for me.

Same for you.

(ZERK SINGING) There's
no planet like my planet.

I love this planet too.

(GROUP SINGING) Yes we
love this planet too.

ZERK (ON WATCH-COM):
Jet, ah, Jet,

Jet, Jet when can I come visit?

[MUSIC PLAYING]

And now, here's my friend,
astronomer Amy Mainzer.

Thanks Jet.

In Ready, Jet, Go, our
friend Jet Propulsion

is from the planet Bortron .

But Bortron
isn't a real place.

We made it up using
our imagination.

It's science fiction.

On the other hand,
science facts are

different from science fiction.

Facts are real.

And we accept them because
they're supported by evidence

that we can see in real life.

So what do science facts
tell us about planets

in other solar systems
that are not our own?

We know that in
our solar system,

our planets go around
our home star, the sun.

But are there other
solar systems out there?

Well, in real life, astronomers
have now found lots of planets

going around other stars.

In fact, here's
four planets that

are going around another star.

Astronomers have
been watching them

with a telescope for years.

Now we've had to blot out
the star in the middle

so that you can see
the other planets.

Because they're a lot
fainter than the star.

But look at them go.

We now know that the
universe is full of planets.

In fact, when you look
up at the night sky,

many of the stars
you see probably

have planets of their very own.

Now most of these stars that
you see in the night sky

with your eyes are like our sun.

They are big and yellow-white.

Planet Earth is covered
with green plants that love

our sun's yellow-white light.

But not all stars
are like our sun.

Some are a lot
smaller and redder.

We call these red dwarf stars.

Our Milky Way galaxy is
full of red dwarf stars.

And scientists have even found
planets that go around them,

just like Jet's made-up home
world Bortron in Ready,

Jet, Go.

Can you imagine what it would
be like to be on a planet

orbiting a red dwarf star?

Scientists think that the sky
might look pretty different.

It could be orange or even red.

And the plants might be purple
and black instead of green.

But we don't know for sure yet.

Because these planets
still look like

tiny dots in our telescopes.

We can't see them close up.

So we have to use our
imagination to figure

out what they might be like.

Imagination is really
important in science.

Scientists use our
imaginations to help inspire

us to make new
discoveries, like finding

planets in other solar systems.

Even though the
planets we've found

so far just look like tiny
dots in our telescopes,

we do know for
sure that some are

small and rocky, like
the Earth or Mars,

and others are a lot
bigger, giant blobs of gas

like Jupiter or Neptune.

And who knows?

Maybe there's a planet
out there with kids on it

that are looking back at us.

Now that's fun to imagine.

But for all the other planets
out there that we found,

Earth is still my favorite.

After all, we've got donuts.

Mm, mm, this is good.

(GROUP SINGING) Jet Propulsion.

Oo.
