Hey, Coot.

We got your wrench like you asked.

Where should we-- Coot?

Hmm. Hmm.

Huh?

Where is he?

This place is such a mess.

Maybe he's buried under all this junk.

Hello, Racers!

Aah! Aah!

Stand by, please.

I've got something special to show you

behind those doors over there.

[ding]

Oh! Wow!

Oh, that's better. What is this place?

This is our new clean room.

I use this place to make sure

all our space equipment is squeaky clean.

Uh, hand me that filthy wrench.

Hey...

Filthy? Looks clean to me.

Not so.

If you look closely with a microscope,

you'll see that everything on Earth

is covered with tiny living creatures

called bacteria.

There's hundreds of them.

Millions.

But give it a quick scrub and...

Eagle: The little bacteria guys are gone.

As far as we know, life, like bacteria,

is only found on Earth,

so it's important that any objects

we send to other planets

don't have Earth creatures living on them.

Nobody's ever found life on another planet?

Not even bacteria?

Not yet, they haven't.

Which is why I want you kids

to go to Mars

and bring back some rock samples.

If we find life on those rocks,

it'll be the greatest astrobiological discovery

in history--

alien life.

Got it.

But what can we use to scoop up all those rock samples?

Oh, yeah!

Oh, that's the spot.

Huh? What'd I miss?

Yes, Hawk, a claw is perfect

but covered in bacteria.

We need to clean it

so we don't get Earth bacteria

on our Mars rock samples.

Good idea.

I don't think he's ever even cleaned that thing.

Into the cleaning chamber, Hawk.

AVA: Cleaning procedure commencing.

Oh! Ow!

Hey, hey, watch it!

Careful.

[laughing] That tickles.

Protective seal applied.

Mmm, smells like my Grandma's house.

Well, how do I look?

Like you're ready to look for life on Mars.

Let's go, guys.

You can bring the samples back

in these containers.

And remember, don't touch those rocks

with anything but Hawk's super-clean claw.

Mars, here we come.

Za-za-zoom!

All right, time to find us some aliens.

Keep an eye out for slimy, green skin and tentacles.

[chuckles]

Those aren't the kind of aliens we're after.

We're here to collect rocks.

If there is life on Mars,

it's probably tiny like bacteria.

Only things you can see through a microscope.

Yeah, I guess you're right.

Look out!

There's an alien right behind you!

Aah! Aah!

[chuckles] It's just some rocks. Gotcha.

Hey, why don't we make those our first samples.

Hold it, Eagle!

Coot said we can only touch the samples

with my super-clean claw.

Remember? Oh, right.

After you, Hawkie.

Stand by for sample collection.

Standing by.

Snag 'em and bag 'em, guys.

Hawk: Snag.

And bag.

Almost there.

One more sample and we're good to go.

Coming up.

[sneezes]

Uh-oh.

Everything okay, Hawk?

Oh, I think I'm coming down with a cold.

Here's the last sample.

There's a mug of warm rocket fuel

back at the lab with your name on it, buddy.

Let's get home.

Great work!

A closer look under the microscope

will tell us if there's anything

living on these rocks.

Well, Coot, did we find aliens?

No sign yet, Hawk.

And no life on that one.

Nothing on this one either.

How long do you think it'll take us

to go through all these rocks?

We'll be through all this

quicker than a sh**ting star.

♪

Only one sample left.

Jumping Jupiter!

What is it, Coot? Find something?

You betcha I did.

Look! Life!

That rock is covered in bacteria.

Do you know what this means, kids?

You just discovered the first-ever creatures

from another planet.

You did it! You found aliens!

I've got to tell Headmaster Crane!

Wahoo!

Congratulations, cadets,

on being the first space explorers

to discover extraterrestrial life.

Thanks, Headmaster.

Coot said you had something to show us.

Yes. This is my Wall of Discovery.

Any time a member of the academy

makes an important discovery,

they go on the wall.

Look, it's Coot!

Check out his glasses.

Soon your discovery will hang here too.

[bell ringing] And now I have decided

to award you the honor

of being the first to study these new life-forms.

We'll get to the lab and start work right away!

Here they are,

the three space pioneers who found life on Mars!

[cheering]

Robyn, can I get your autograph?

[chuckles] Sure you can, Spark Plug.

Robyn, can I get a scoop?

What's it like to be the first explorer

to find alien life?

How's it feel to be the most famous cadets

in Stardust Space Academy history?

How's it feel? Let me show you.

It feels like... za-za-zoom!

Oh! Whoa!

Wow!

All right, folks, show's over.

These cadets have important work to do.

And by finding bacteria on a rock from Mars,

these three cadets discovered life on another planet.

Congratulations to Stardust Bay's heroes of science.

Hear that? He called us heroes.

[sneezes]

Oh, too bad heroes can still catch colds.

Aww, look at the little guys.

You're so cute! Yes, you are.

I'm gonna call you Eagle Jr.,

and you can be Eagle Jr. II.

There's something really familiar

about this bacteria.

[sneezes]

Ah, lug nuts.

Hawk! Let me see your claw.

Oh, no!

You'd both better take a look at this.

Uh-oh!

But that means...

We got to tell Coot.

Coot, we have something we need to show you

about the bacter-- [humming]

Hey, where's Professor Coot?

And why's all his stuff in boxes?

Coot left already.

I saw you guys on TV. It was so cool.

They said how you found life on Mars

and now you're famous and--

Whoa, is that the rock?

Can I touch it?

Coot left?

Left for where?

We have something important to show him.

For Mars, of course.

He says he's gonna go live on Mars

to look for more bacteria.

Mars?!

We have to stop him and tell him what we found!

When's he going?

I think blastoff is in T-minus...

Three, two, one,

blastoff!

We're too late! Not yet we're not.

Prepare for takeoff.

Booster rockets. Engaged.

Racers, got time for a few questions?

We can't talk right now.

Off to Mars to help Coot find

more extraterrestrial life, I bet.

Uh... right. Got to go!

Booster rockets. Engaged.

Wings. Back.

Space visors. Down.

All: Blastoff!

There you have it, folks.

The Space Racers are headed for Mars.

[humming]

Coot! Coot!

Wait!

Ah, cadets!

Come to help me collect more Martian bacteria?

Don't leave, Coot.

We made a huge mistake.

We never found bacteria on Mars after all.

It was all a big mix-up.

Hawk accidentally sneezed on the Mars rock,

covering it in Earth's bacteria.

Back home, I recognized the same bacteria

from Hawk's claw.

So... there's no life on Mars after all?

Oh, I didn't mean it, Coot.

So everybody thought

the bacteria on the rock was aliens,

but really it was just Hawk's sneeze,

and now everyone's gonna be mad and--

Don't you worry, kids.

Come on!

Let's get back to the lab.

We'll need another sample of Hawk's nose cone bacteria

to verify that.

[blows nose]

One bacteria sample as requested.

Ah, thanks, Hawk.

Uh... yep.

Looks like you were right.

The life you found on Mars

was Earth life all along.

We're sorry, Coot.

Are you mad?

Far from it, Eagle!

Making sure a discovery is correct

is a vital element of scientific research.

We just got unlucky this time.

I'm sorry to hear your discovery

was proven to be false,

but as a wise rocket once said,

it is better to find a harsh truth

than to get lost in a lie.

But for the important role

that Hawk's nose cone bacteria played in the day's events,

I think the famous handkerchief deserves a place

on the Wall of Fame.

Ha-ha! Way to go, Hawkie!

Ah... Ah...

Uh-oh.!

I think I feel another discovery coming on!
