Milo Neuman
Bert Ring
February 15, 2016 (2016-02-15)

"Tour of the Solar System": Jet and his friends are playing a Solar System game but mess up on which planets go where, so they take a trip to space to find out the order of the planets in the Solar System.

"Song": Solar System Song
"Jet Cooks Dinner": While Jet's parents are away, he and his friends decide to cook the "classic 3-part Bortronian meal" for them, but they have trouble with the cooking. Sean teaches them the Scientific Method so they can get the recipe right.

"Song": Scientific Method
"Learning Goals": The Sun is at the center of the Solar System, and everything else revolves around it. The Sun, planets, dwarf planets, moons, and different kinds of space rocks such as asteroids and comets are all part of the Solar System.
"Failure is not the opposite of success; failure is a stepping stone to success." This attitude can be applied to cooking as well as scientific discoveries.

Milo Neuman
Bert Ring
February 18, 2016 (2016-02-18)

"Just the Right Distance from the Sun": Sean explains to the group that Earth is a Goldilocks planet: It's not too hot and not too cold, it's just right. When Celery flies the kids out into space, they observe how other planets don't have the attributes to support life.
"Solar Power Rover": Jet, Sean, and Sydney visit their Mars Robot Rover friend at the DSA and discover that the rover seems tired. Through helping the solar-powered robot regain its energy, they learn how energy can be captured, used from the Sun, and used anywhere, even on Mars.

"Learning Goals": All life on Earth comes from the energy of the Sun. The Earth happens to be located just the right distance from the Sun: not too far away and not too close. This makes the Earth a "Goldilocks planet": not too hot, not too cold.

The Sun creates solar power that is used for energy. Solar power is the conversion of sunlight into electricity, either directly or indirectly.

Celery flies them out to space, and the kids learn the difference between an asteroid, a meteor, and a meteorite. Worried at first, Sean learns that only the rare asteroid (called a meteorite) makes it all the way to Earth, so he decides that he’ll become really good at "Astro-Tracker" to prepare for the future when he can be on a team of scientists who track rogue asteroids.

"Mindy's Meteorite Stand": When Mindy and Sunspot are digging in the yard, they discover a unique rock that Mindy is convinced is a meteorite. The kids conduct a series of tests to find out and amazingly the rock passes each test.

"Treehouse Space Station": When the kids realize that they all want to use the treehouse at the same time for different activities, arguments break out. Mindy tries to help by creating a schedule for each kid to use the treehouse alone. In the end, the kids realize they need each other’s company and ideas in order to be successful in their own projects.

"Mindy's Mystery": Mindy can't sleep one night, having been kept awake by a sweet, strong smell from outside. Sydney, Sean, Jet, and Sunspot become detectives and try to crack the case of the sweet smell. At the same time, Mitchell is investigating what kept him up last night - a very bright "annoying" light.

They're actually in an Earth desert, Mars-like at first (hot, red soil, lack of water), but soon they realize where they are. A desert vs. Mars comparison is made. Before heading home, the family decides that the old, dependable saucer operating system works just fine for them.

After learning about the causes of moonquakes, the kids attempt to build a Moonquake-proof structure.

"My Fair Jet": Sean and Sydney are planning to take Jet to the DSA Open House the upcoming weekend. The Earth kids are nervous that he will get in front of a crowd of strangers and forget to keep the secret that he's an alien from Bortron 7. After a hilarious outburst from Jet, the kids are motivated to try to 'train' him to behave less like an alien from outer space, and more like a 'regular Earthie kid.' Jet's doing well until he ends up using his Bortronian jet-pack to fly up to rescue the DSA weather balloon when it's about to get away in some bad weather.

"From Pluto with Love": As the kids get ready for Valentines Day by making their own valentines out of paper, Mindy continues to feel sad that little, frozen Pluto is so far out at the edge of the Solar System. When Sydney shows Mindy a newly-downloaded, full-color image of Pluto as seen by the New Horizons spacecraft, Mindy is intrigued by Pluto's 'heart' of ice. Mindy once again feels that Pluto deserves our love, since it's no longer considered a planet, but is orbiting out there at the edge of the Solar System, like a big frozen Valentine. She asks Sydney to bring her own little hand-made Valentine to Pluto on her behalf. Sydney leads an expedition of the kids to Pluto to bring Mindy's Valentine, experience the frozen dwarf planet themselves, and bring back their report to Mindy.

"A Star is Born": Sydney is directing the kids in a backyard movie, making her version of a Commander Cressida story about the formation of a star. The other kids all have parts, but Sunspot has the lead - as the star! The kids' movie coincides with the celebration of a star being born near (a.k.a. 10 light years away from) Bortron 7!

Sean compares her 'Mindysphere' to the helisophere-the boundaries of the Sun's influence. The kids get Celery to fly them out past the heliosphere into true interstellar space. Back on Earth, they make their own Voyager 1 (out of a wagon) and take Mindy to the outermost edges of the Mindysphere!

"Lone Star": Sydney knows a lot about Boxwood Terrace's early history, and she tells Jet stories about a local pioneer who went by the nickname 'Lone Star.' He got that name because he was an early astronomer who liked the hills of Boxwood Terrace for their excellent views of the night sky, and built the first Observatory on the hill that now sits at the center of the Deep Space Array. As Jet imagines Sydney's story of Lone Star, the kids turn the story into a Western-flavored musical.

"Jet's Time Machine": Jet uses his Bortronian skills to test his first experimental Time machine so he and his Earthie friends can go back to an exact time - 3 minutes earlier - in order to see a spectacular moment in a meteor shower that they missed.

"Castaway Carrot": After an afternoon on the Moon, Celery, Jet, and Sunspot discover, as they fly to Earth, that they have mistakenly left Carrot on the Moon. Then the saucer malfunctions and they receive news of a possible solar storm headed their way. In a nail-biter, Jet and Sunspot do a mid-outer space repair job - as per Celery's instructions -with Carrot comically adapting to the Moon environment. In the end, the saucer is fixed, Carrot is rescued, and the solar storm heads in the opposite direction of the Moon.

"Jet Can't Sleep": When a loud thunderstorm hits the neighborhood one evening, the Propulsions are woken up. They gather in the kitchen as the noisy storm rages on, and Jet is too excited to get back to sleep. Carrot, Celery, and Sunspot are sympathetic - they're in the same boat! During the night they all learn about Earth storms as compared to storms on other planets. And then they all try to get Jet to fall back asleep, a seemingly impossible task. They use more and more absurd methods, until Celery has a conventional Earthie solution: sing a lullaby.

"A Hammer and a Feather": Sydney shows Jet and Sean a cool experiment - dropping different items from the same height to see which reaches the ground first. That reminds Sean of a video he watched of an astronaut on the Moon dropping a hammer and a feather from the same height. They reach the ground at the same time. And the reason is atmosphere - or lack of it - on the Moon. Jet laughs - really? Wait, what's atmosphere? Well, the kids know the best way to find out - into the wagon/saucer! Our kids and Celery fly to the edge of the Earth's atmosphere to learn what it does... and then go to the Moon. Is the atmosphere around the Moon the same as the Earth's? And what happens when the kids do the hammer-feather drop on the lunar surface?

"Commander Mom": Sydney brings Jet and Sean to the DSA to visit her mom, DR. AMY SKELLEY, and check out her work. Dr. Skelley is a robotics engineer who makes outer space robotic and gadget dreams a reality.
