Snoopy in Space (2019) s01e04 Episode Script

Welcome to the ISS

Snoopy, stop walking in slow motion.
You're gonna be late.
All right, everyone.
Are we ready? - Yep.
- Good to go, Chuck.
- Ready.
- All systems go.
We are go for launch.
T-minus ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one.
We have liftoff.
Hang in there, pal.
Approaching the speed of sound.
Approaching second-stage burn.
Congratulations, Snoopy.
You're now in Earth's orbit.
Are we there yet? Not quite.
While it only takes a few minutes to get to space, it will take us about six hours to catch up to and dock with the ISS.
Still not there yet, Astronaut Snoopy.
I did say six hours.
You're there! Space station, prepare for docking.
Jumping Jupiter! That space station's as big as a house.
Actually, sir, the ISS is the size of an American football field.
Football.
Your favorite, Charlie Brown.
Don't worry.
This is a historic moment.
I won't let you down.
For history! History always repeats itself, Charlie Brown.
I can't believe it.
My dog, in space.
Welcome to the International Space Station.
Remember, you are now experiencing microgravity.
You are also completely upside down.
Magnificent, isn't it? ISS orbits around Earth, which means you're about to get a lot of great views of your home planet.
An orbit is the repeating oval path an object makes when it is caught in another object's gravity.
For example, Earth is in orbit around the sun.
And this baseball is in orbit around Chuck's big head.
Hey.
Now please, make yourself at home.
Woodstock.
I do not remember you being on the crew manifest.
Although, I suppose since you participated in the same training as Astronaut Snoopy, you may stay.
It's good that you're such great friends.
Because working with others is an important part of being on the ISS.
It's time for your first task.
Taking pictures of Earth.
Pictures of Earth taken from the ISS are super important.
When there's bad weather or even a natural disaster, aerial photos help provide a faster response back home.
Neat.
They also help scientists research Tahiti's endangered giant clams.
So it's serious business.
Got it? I think you've taken enough photos.
Now for your second task.
Since your bones and muscles don't need to work as hard to move your bodies around in microgravity, you'll need to exercise for two and a half hours every day to stay strong.
Astronauts, this is not a race.
Let's move on for now.
This space station may be your home away from home, but it's also a lab.
Astronauts, you need to keep it clean.
It appears a piece of space debris, called a micrometeorite, is on a collision course with the ISS.
No need to worry.
We could readjust your position from Mission Control.
Oh, no.
There seems to be something jamming the controls.
CARA, can you help us out? Sorry, Houston.
I'm a little wrapped up at the moment.
Snoopy, we have a problem.
You'll need to clear the jam to move the space station so nothing is hit.
But you need to hurry! Marcie, where's the micrometeorite? One hundred and eighty-seven miles away.
At the speed it's going, impact is in 30 seconds.
Oh, I can't watch.
Take shelter, Charlie Brown.
Danger averted.
Snoopy, this is Houston.
The micrometeorite has passed safely out of range.
Nice work.
Well done, astronauts.
While your technique was unconventional, you managed to avoid damage to the station and learned to stick together in close quarters.
Which is a good thing, because it's about to get closer.
Say hello to your colleagues, joining the ISS on a brief supply run.
