Hey, guys, what's the school gonna do

with all this moondust we're harvesting?

It's got helium- in it.

They use that to make our rocket fuel.

Oh, fuel for school?

Cool.

Hey, Hawkie, heads up. Catch.

Whoops!

Oh, no!

Phew!

No worries.

Remember, the moon's gravity

is way less than on Earth.

Everything is light as a feather up here.

Yeah, including us.

["The Blue Danube" playing]

Oh! Ooh-ooh!

[laughter]

Whoo!

Ooh! Ow!

You're such knuckleheads.

Hi. Hi, Mr. Loon!

Hello there!

Just set those canisters down right over there.

Good work, kids.

Watching you play out there

reminds me of the old days,

when I was a young rocket like you.

You were young? When was that?

Oh, now, that's a good question.

When was I young? Let me think. Let me think.

times , plus , minus ,

divided by , carry the , times .

Uh-huh, Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh.

Aha!

I don't know. Huh?

Ah, maybe about years ago.

That sounds about right.

You're years old?

How can you not know how old you are?

It was a long time ago.

Who can remember anything that far back?

Vulture: Loon!

Someone's calling my name? Who's calling my name?

Hello there, Mr. Whoever You Are.

I'm Vulture. Vulture!

Chairman of your school board.

And I need to know the status

of that helium- shipment!

Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

What is it now?

Where's my hat? I can't find my hat.

Where's my hat? Loon.

All work stops 'til I find my hat.

Loon! Where in the blinkity blinkity cosmos

did I put that thing?

Loon! What?

It's on your head.

Oh. There it is. How about that?

Of course it's on my head.

Where else would it be?

[laughing]

Clean, clean, clean, clean.

Now, look here.

The shipment of helium-,

is it ready to load onto the lunar elevator?

What's the big hurry?

Take your time. Smell the moondust.

You'll live longer.

I haven't got time to live longer.

We have to turn that helium-

into fuel for our engines,

so please load those canisters

onto the lunar elevator now!

[sputtering]

That's one excitable fella.

What did you say your name was again, mister?

Remember, kids,

tie those canisters down nice and tight.

Eagle: No worries. We've got it covered.

Hey, I heard a good one. Ready?

Why did the moon orbit the Earth?

Um... I don't know. Why?

To get to the other side.

[chuckles] Right?

The moon wanted to get to the other side. Get it?

Ugh! Unfortunately, we got it.

[laughing]

Okay, Loon, all ready.

[machinery whirring]

Uh-oh!

Oh, the canisters are getting away!

Hurry, kids, hurry!

We're on it.

Blast off!

Yee-ha!

Yip, yip, yahoo!

Move 'em out.

Ride 'em on in.

Ooh, catch those doggies!

Yee-ha!

[laughter] Ooh, ooh... Whoa!

You need to be more careful, Eagle.

Sorry about that, guys.

I thought I had 'em all locked in.

You're the senior chief engineer up here.

How could this happen?

Do you have any idea

how valuable those helium- canisters are?

Ah, mistakes happen.

Besides, we rescued every single one of them.

Good work, kids. [laughing]

I should have known

this kind of thing would happen.

It's high time for you to retire.

Retire? Retire?

Did he just say retire?

Did you just say retire?

That's exactly what I said.

Why would I retire?

My tires are in tip-top shape.

Don't need no new tires, see?

Sturdy.

Not new tires.

Retire!

As in hand in your wings,

stop working, leave,

and make way for a younger rocket

to take your place.

I demand your resignation.

But Mr. Loon didn't do anything wrong, sir.

It wasn't his fault.

Please don't fire him.

Yeah, we made the mistake.

Okay, I made the mistake.

No, you are just young cadets.

As senior officer here on the moon,

Loon was responsible.

His farewell party will be held this evening

in the lunar garden.

[sighs] This is terrible.

Yeah. The moon won't be the same place without him.

What are we gonna do, guys?

I don't know.

Is this a party...

or nap time?

So, Loon, I bet you've seen your share

of amazing things in space over the years, huh?

Ooh, boy, that's a long story!

Don't even get me started.

I remember the very first moon landing way back when.

And the last time Venus went past the sun.

Oh, and the great lunar eclipse.

Ah, the really big one.

You actually couldn't see anything.

Earth's shadow completely covered the moon,

but that was some hotsy-totsy eclipse, let me tell you.

I've been working up here

since we first created a moon base.

So many discoveries over the years.

As a wise rocket once said,

time is like a banana.

It has its appeal, but it just keeps slipping away.

Yep. I'm the one who said that about years ago.

Oh. Of course.

Maybe this is all for the best.

Huh? Say what?

Loon is kind of old, right?

He's been working up here forever.

So? He's so old,

his ears must still be ringing from the Big Bang.

Eagle!

But now he can go home,

relax, have some fun, put up his wheels,

and binge-watch all episodes of "Captain Cosmos,"

do whatever he wants.

[clears throat]

May I have your attention?

I'd like to propose a toast

to a great rocket science engineer

and an all-around terrific--

[rumbling, whimpering]

No worries, folks!

It's just a moonquake.

They're not like earthquakes.

Those are over pretty quickly.

Moonquakes can last, eh, ten minutes, longer.

Ten minutes?

That's right.

The inside of the Earth is molten and soft.

It acts like a shock absorber

to cushion the shaking.

Up here, the inside of the moon is hard.

Nothing to soften the vibration,

so they just keep going.

I've seen a million of these.

Let's all stay calm and ride it out.

♪ We're having a quake ♪

♪ Upon the moon ♪

♪ While everything shakes ♪

♪ Let's croon this tune ♪

♪ Those quakes down on Earth ♪

♪ Don't last too long ♪

♪ But quakes on the moon ♪ [laughter]

♪ Go on and on ♪

♪

Ohh!

Good grief!

I thought that thing would never end.

Thank you, Loon.

Your relaxed manner helped everyone stay calm.

Please, don't mention it.

It's all part of the job up here.

Uh... the job I used to have, I mean.

Hey, where's Eagle?

I don't know.

I haven't seen him since the quake started.

Eagle?

Eagle?

Eagle: Help!

Somebody help me!

Hawk: There he is! Under the moon rock!

Are you hurt? I don't think so.

But the quake shook this boulder down onto me,

and now I can't get it off!

Stand back! Coming through! [siren wailing]

Hmm.

Uh-huh, pinned down under a moon rock.

Uh-huh. The same thing happened to me

about years ago.

Or was it ?

Nope, .

I think.

No, .

Yes, a hundred and fifty--

Or maybe it was a hundred--

Never mind all that.

How do we get him out from under it?

I've got just the thing.

[whistles]

Murray, one steel rod, please.

Easy-peasy.

Now we just put a small rock over here,

wedge one end of this rod under the boulder,

lean against her here, and hye-up.

Cadet: Whoo-hoo!

[cheering]

Thank you. Thank you very much.

Thank you, Mr. Loon.

You saved me.

Hmm, something's not right here.

[grunts]

[gasps]

Oh, Eagle, just as I suspected.

Like everything else on the moon,

it's light as a feather.

I know, it just doesn't-- Oh, boy.

Why is Mr. Loon retiring?

He just rescued Eagle,

and he helped us survive a moonquake.

Yeah, he shouldn't be leaving.

He should be staying

for a hundred more years at least.

That's right!

Yeah. We love him.

Another hundred years!

Group: Another hundred years! Another hundred years!

Oh, very well.

Loon, you are hereby rehired.

[groans] [cheering]

Eagle, I know what you did.

Pretending to get in trouble

so Loon would look like a hero?

I, uh, don't know what you're talking about, Robyn.

I'm so proud of you.
