[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, h*, h*, h*. 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, h*.
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 beat.
(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, h*, right.
[SLURPING]
Our Bortron boss will assign us to stay on Earth for years.
Oh, h*, 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, h*, h*, 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, h*, 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.
Ready, Jet, Go. Oo.
Jet Propulsion.
Jet Propulsion.
Jet Propulsion.
Ready, Jet, Go.
NARRATOR: Like you, PBS Kids believes that all children have
the potential, and deserve the opportunity,
to succeed in school and in life.
