Hey, wait for me!

What a lovely day for a school trip.

Psh! Day, night,

who can tell the difference way out here?

Hey, Robyn, are we there yet?

Are we there yet?

Are we there yet?

Yes, Eagle, we're there.

This is where you get off.

See ya!

[chuckling]

Wow, look, guys! There it is!

Deep Space Station Gagarin!

Earth's farthest outpost, in orbit around Neptune.

[groans]

I thought we'd never get here.

My thrusters are k*lling me!

Yeah, this is the longest school trip we've ever taken.

You know, back in the old days,

it would take rockets even longer.

Nearly years to reach this far out into our solar system.

years?!

Yes, but now we can do it in just one week.

So let us be thankful for improved fuel

that can carry us such a great distance so quickly.

[Russian accent] Welcome to deep space!

Trogon! We've missed you!

Yeah! What are you doin' all the way out here?

There is still much to learn about our solar system, yes?

So, we come here to collect samples, analyze,

enter findings, blah, blah, blah,

but mainly to study Kuiper Belt.

Isn't it kind of silly to travel this far

just to study some old belt?

[laughing]

I like you. You are crazy rocket!

What is your name?

Raven.

Well, Cadet Raven,

the Kuiper Belt is not just any old belt.

It's one of the outermost parts of the solar system.

But now come.

You must all be tired and hungry, yes?

Where I come from,

we have a very old and very, very wise saying:

"All work and no play is stinky!"

[laughing]

[all laughing]

We have plenty of tasty fuel here.

Eat in our cafeteria,

exercise in our spacenasium,

watch videos and play in our media room.

Enjoy!

We meet later on observation deck.

This place is awesome!

All the comforts of home so far from home.

I could live out here for a while.

♪ Oh, me too!

They have every episode of "Captain Cosmos"

in their database!

And did you check out the science lab?

It's incredible!

Boring.

I'm with Raven.

Too much blah, blah, blah

about science and collecting samples,

and not enough racing!

Honestly, you two are like primitive cave rockets!

When were you born, the st century?

Trogon: Look, Space Racers.

This is the Kuiper Belt.

Is very big area!

It is made up of millions of icy and rocky objects

that orbit our sun in between Neptune and Pluto.

But, Trogon, I don't see anything.

[laughing]

That is because the Kuiper Belt is huge!

The distance between everything out here is so wide,

you can't see them only with your eyes.

Look through the telescopes!

See now?

There is really much going on out here,

and we are learning more and more every day!

Whoa!

I just saw two frozen rocks

crash into each other and break apart!

Yes, this happens too.

They say that in another hundred million years or so,

there might not even be a Kuiper Belt left.

Oh, no! Then we'd better hurry up and study it all

before it's all gone!

[Trogon laughing]

I like this Hawk. He's crazy!

Come on, let's get out of here and have some fun.

Yeah!

Space tag! Ha ha ha! You're it!

Raven: Heh! Got ya now!

[panting]

Aw, miss me, Raven? [laughing]

Not for long!

Here, chicky, chicky, chicky.

Space tag. You're it!

[laughing]

Trogon: You are crazy rocket!

[Hawk laughing]

Ha ha! That was a blast!

Where'd you guys disappear to?

Uh, bathroom break.

[laughing]

[scoffs] So weird.

Hey, you missed some great stuff.

♪

Thanks, Mr. Trogon. The Kuiper Belt is so awesome.

Da! Is most fascinating!

Hey, what's that?

Looks like a floating liquid bubble.

Yes, in zero gravity,

all liquids turn into round balls.

Whoa! It's like a bubble wonderland in here!

[laughing]

Liquids have a sort of stickiness

that makes them like to stay together.

Up here, without gravity, where they can float,

the shape that allows something to stay together best

is a round ball.

What are these balls made of?

Ah, good question, Cadet Hawk!

The spectrometer always knows.

Just point it at anything,

and it tells us what it is made of.

[spectrometer beeping]

Let us see here.

Spectrometer: Rocket fuel.

Eh, like I said, spectrometer always knows.

Floating liquid balls are rocket fuel.

Wait... what?

Rocket Fuel.

Rocket fuel?!

Galloping globules!

Rocket fuel?!

Ahem, must be mistake.

♪

Oh, boy!

Is no mistake.

Fuel t*nk is empty.

But how?

[gasps]

Here is how!

A big hole has been torn here!

What would tear hole?

As a wise rocket once said, "This is not good."

Well, we are in deep space with no food to eat.

Really far from Earth too.

It'll take a week for a cargo ship to get here

with fresh supplies.

Perhaps we can collect the bubbles

and refill the storage t*nk.

[thud] Ouch!

Oh, I got it! I got it! I got it!

[grunting]

[groans]

Hey, Eagle, what's that dent on your side?

Uh, what dent?

That one.

Oh! Um... nothing.

I just, you know, fell and banged myself.

Hmm. Against the fuel t*nk?

We didn't mean to do it, I swear!

We were just playing space tag!

It's true! It was an accident!

Well, we can't just stand around!

We got to do something, guys!

Yeah! I don't want to go a whole week without eating.

I'm sure if we put our heads together,

we can figure something out, right?

We're Space Racers!

Booyah!

Uh, what are we talkin' about again?

I can't think when I'm hungry.

Duh! The answer is so obvious,

it's staring us right in the face.

All we've got to do

is fly at the fuel balls with our mouths open

and eat them right out of the air.

Let's do it!

[gulping]

[groans]

Okay, this isn't working.

I know. It's so frustrating!

Aw...

Look at all this yummy fuel right here in front of us,

and we can't eat it!

Yeah, I wish I could just crawl inside one of these things.

Hawk, that's it!

You're a genius!

- I am? - Yes.

Okay, we can't seem to get at the fuel from the outside,

but I bet we can from the inside!

- Huh? - How?

Follow me, guys!

Maybe we can get to the fuel through straws!

If we can stick straws into the bubbles,

we might be able to drink the fuel right out of them!

Hey, you know, that might work.

[slurping]

[burps]

- It works! - Wahoo!

Grab all the straws you can!

[slurping]

[burps]

We're really sorry, everyone.

Yeah, we didn't mean to break the storage t*nk.

It was an accident.

You are forgiven.

This time.

While we repair t*nk,

your smart idea will keep everyone

fueled and fed all week

until cargo ship arrives with fresh supplies.

Indeed.

It will take a long time to feed everyone this way,

but at least no one will go hungry.

Ha! Crazy rockets.

Blackbird the Pirate,

your space pirating days are over!

In the name of the Galactic Coalition,

I'm placing you under arrest.

Arr! You make me laugh, Cosmos.

You'll never take me!

[laughing]

[coughing]

[TV turns off]

Yeah...

guess we're stuck here now for at least a week.

Sweet!

No chores, no school.

I think I'm gonna like being on space station vacation.

- [laughing] - Me too, buddy.

Eh, eh, eh, eh, not so fast,

my mischievous little Space Racers.

I have many, many hours of study material

on hard drive just for you two.

Is everything you missed about Kuiper Belt

while you were playing around

and destroying our fuel t*nk.

[Eagle and Raven] Oh, man!
