00:20I was afraid of that.
00:23Uh, sound the alarm and alert Valerie Frizzle immediately.
00:27Valerie Frizzle?
00:30Frizzle!
00:37Today's the day.
00:38I know it.
00:40Where is it?
00:42There it is.
00:45What on earth are you doing, Dorothy Ann?
00:47Something really important, Mom.
00:50At four o'clock in the morning?
00:52Oh, you'd be too tired for school.
00:54Mom, I don't know how to tell you this, but there may be no school.
01:06As we all know, the planets go around the sun in their own special paths.
01:10These paths are called orbits, and they show where the planets go.
01:16All objects in space, no matter what they are, travel in their own orbits.
01:21Under very unusual circumstances, two objects on different orbits may cross paths and crash into each other.
01:31Miss Frizzle, are you all right?
01:35Well, as I always say, there's nothing like starting out the day with a bang.
01:40What happened?
01:41D.A. clobbered Miss Frizzle.
01:43Anybody hurt?
01:43Hey, these are all science fiction films.
01:47I love this one.
01:48When worlds collide.
01:50Hmm, how appropriate.
01:52Where have you been, D.A.?
01:54We had to start a solar system play without you.
01:56Yeah, you were supposed to be Pluto.
01:59Arf, arf.
02:01Carlos.
02:02Can we get back to the play?
02:03These rings are killing me.
02:05There's no time for a play.
02:06We have to evacuate the school this instant.
02:09What's the problem, D.A.?
02:11An asteroid is on a direct collision course with Earth.
02:15An asteroid?
02:17You mean like that giant rock Arnold's loony cousin Janet tried to bring back from space?
02:22Exactly, Ralphie.
02:23Only my asteroid's bigger.
02:25And according to my calculations, sometime in the next 24 hours, it's going to crash into our school and destroy
02:34it.
02:35I mapped it all out.
02:39I first saw the asteroid through my telescope, right where Liz is now.
02:43The next night, it was here.
02:46Then here.
02:47As it got closer and closer to Earth, I tracked it once a night.
02:52Then twice a night.
02:53Then connected the points to show its path.
02:56This line shows where it will hit if it stays on the same path.
03:00Right into our school.
03:03Kaboom!
03:04But Dorothe Ann, Earth is moving too.
03:08We're moving in our own orbit.
03:10I love it when they do their homework.
03:12I know we're moving, Thieb.
03:15But I drew Earth where it will be when the asteroid crosses its path.
03:20Ha ha.
03:21You expect us to believe you when there hasn't been anything on the news about it?
03:26Or in the papers.
03:27Hey, why don't we call NASA?
03:29Those scientists ought to know what's going on in space.
03:33You have reached the NASA hotline.
03:36All of our scientists are busy right now.
03:38Please stay on the line as your call will be taken in the order received.
03:42Thank you for calling the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
03:46Mwah!
03:46Ah, great.
03:48Where's a scientist when you need one?
03:50We could be on hold for weeks.
03:52Yeah, how are we going to find out for sure if D.A. is right?
03:56Well, I suppose we could just wait here for the big kaboom.
04:00Then you'll have your proof.
04:02Ah, which reminds me of what my old astronomy teacher used to say.
04:07Star light, star bright, there's always a way to find out if you're right.
04:11To the bus?
04:13Mm-hmm.
04:14Single file, please.
04:18Beam us up, Lizzie.
04:27Wahoo!
04:31Teacher's ledger, field trip number 24.
04:34Welcome, crew of the Magic Space Bus.
04:37We are about to go where few even dare dream to go.
04:42We are embarking on a dangerous but necessary mission.
04:46The objective?
04:47Seek and discover Dorothy Ann's mysterious space object.
04:51Follow its path.
04:52And if necessary, prevent it from impacting Walker Elementary.
04:57Can't, Berger, what's a sign of snores, Ms. Frizzle?
05:00Why don't we just find it, follow it, and finish it off?
05:04Hmm, that'll work.
05:05Lieutenant Liz, begin scan phase.
05:11Is it too late to turn back?
05:15It is too late.
05:17Hey guys, look what's coming!
05:20It's the home run I hit at recess yesterday.
05:22That ball's still going.
05:24Good one, Ralphie!
05:26No, Ralphie, it's a shooting star.
05:29Nope, it's a falling star.
05:33Whatever it was, it's burned out.
05:35Actually, it wasn't a star at all, but rather a small piece of space junk.
05:39They burn up when they enter Earth's atmosphere.
05:42Maybe that was DA's asteroid.
05:44Good, then we can go home now.
05:47Sorry to disappoint me, Arnold,
05:48but the asteroid I tracked was much bigger than that.
05:54According to my observations,
05:56the asteroid is coming from the direction of Saturn.
06:01We need to go this way!
06:05Lieutenant, set course for 0-9-3,
06:094-8-1, sector 5-5-5.
06:12Delete low-level float and transfer to warp speed.
06:14In other words, Liz, head for Saturn and step on it!
06:21Keisha, any news from NASA?
06:26Still on hold, Ms. Frizzle.
06:31Oh no! We're being pulled off course!
06:34Re-establish itinerary, Lieutenant Liz!
06:40What's happening?
06:41Well, if I've calculated correctly,
06:45we're about to cross paths with the moon!
06:48Uh, does that mean what I think it means?
06:51It means we're gonna crash!
06:53Forget the man in the moon!
06:55We're gonna be the kids in the moon!
06:58I think I'm gonna be sick!
07:06We're gonna be moon dust!
07:08But we were heading towards Saturn, not the moon!
07:11What changed our path?
07:13Got me!
07:14The moon is so much bigger than we are,
07:16we don't stand a chance!
07:18That's it, Arnold!
07:20Because the moon is so much bigger than we are,
07:24we're being pulled in by its gravity!
07:27Can't we just change our path?
07:29Right on track, Phoebe!
07:30I suggest an orbital insertion burn!
07:33An orbital!
07:34What?
07:35Flore it and get out of here!
07:37Mark!
07:40Five, four, three, two, one...
07:45Fire!
07:48That was close!
07:50Is it just me, or are we playing ring around the moon?
07:54Affirmative!
07:55We are now in what is known as a parking orbit.
07:58Wow!
07:59Are we going to be moon stuck forever, Miss Frizzle?
08:03I mean, what if DA's asteroid is still out there?
08:07If there even is an asteroid!
08:10Prepare to exit lunar orbit!
08:18Woo-hoo!
08:21Plotty new course, Miss Frizzle!
08:24Here's Earth, and here's the moon.
08:28I think the asteroid is here.
08:31Um, actually, DA, I think your asteroid's right there!
08:37Wait a second!
08:39It's got a tail!
08:40Which means it's a comet!
08:43And I don't think what I saw through my telescope was a comet!
08:47Comets?
08:48Meteorites?
08:48Asteroids?
08:49Where does all this space junk come from?
08:52Leftovers, Tim!
08:53Space junk is just bits and pieces of rock that were left over after the planets formed.
08:58At my old school, we always had leftovers.
09:03Let's see, if the comet were coming this way, towards Earth, gee, maybe this comet is what I saw!
09:13Oh, now I'm not sure!
09:15One thing is sure, if this is it, it's going to make a pretty big dent in the gym!
09:21Still can't get through to NASA, Miss Frizzle!
09:23We're losing time!
09:25If that's what DA saw, I say we blast it to smithereens!
09:30Hold it!
09:31That comet looks more like a scoop of rocky road ice cream than a rock!
09:35As I remember, a comet is ice and rock all jammed together!
09:39Cool!
09:40Then we don't have to blast it!
09:43We can melt it!
09:44Melt it?
09:45From here?
09:46How?
09:47The sun, Arnold!
09:48The great melter in the sky!
09:53Extend the mega reflector, Liz!
09:55Oops!
09:56Sorry, Miss Frizzle!
09:58It's your command!
09:59Oh, no, no, no, Wanda!
10:01You're doing just fine!
10:04Liz, activate the mega reflector!
10:11Wait!
10:12I'm still not sure that's it!
10:15We can't wait, DA!
10:16It's almost out of range!
10:18Rotate the mirror to reflect the sun, Lieutenant!
10:27Begin meltdown!
10:29Check it out!
10:31Oh, all the rock and dust is coming off!
10:33It's evaporating!
10:37We got it!
10:39Yay!
10:41Retract reflector!
10:45Tell us, Wanda, how does it feel to have saved Walker Elementary School from sure destruction?
10:52Sorry!
10:53No, comet!
10:55Oh, good one, Wanda!
10:58I couldn't have said it better myself!
11:01Let's go home!
11:03Mission accomplished!
11:04Not so fast!
11:06According to my latest corrections, we destroyed the wrong space object!
11:12The one that's going to hit the school is still out there somewhere!
11:16What do you mean we destroyed the wrong space object?
11:20When we orbited the moon, I got myself all turned around!
11:24I thought we were here, but we were really here!
11:27To get to the asteroid we're looking for, we have to go this way!
11:32Lieutenant, alter course to zero niner zero, sector 388, point of departure 1300, begin orbital inversion!
11:42Hey, hey, Yui!
11:55There it is!
11:59Whoa!
12:00That's one humongous space rock!
12:03DA, you sure that's it?
12:05Positive!
12:07I was afraid you'd say that!
12:09Now that we've found it, how are we ever going to get rid of it?
12:14What's the matter with you guys?
12:16We came out here on a mission!
12:18This is no time to bail out!
12:20We have a job to do!
12:23DA's right!
12:24If we could melt a comet, how hard can it be to melt an asteroid?
12:28Lieutenant!
12:32Extend the mega reflector!
12:36Rotate to reflect the sun!
12:39Begin meltdown!
12:44Uh, is it just me, or is the asteroid not melting?
12:49It's not melting.
12:50It looks like it's made of metal.
12:52Maybe that's why.
12:53Metal and rock, to be exact.
12:55If we can't melt it, what are we going to do?
12:58You got us into this, DA!
13:00What are we going to do?
13:02What are we going to do?
13:03Um, I wish I knew!
13:15Follow that asteroid!
13:17There's got to be more than one way to destroy it.
13:21Anybody have a good plan B?
13:23There aren't any good plan B's, Tim.
13:26If they were good, they'd be plan A's!
13:30Don't give up!
13:31As Captain Cook once said, the path to success leads in many different directions.
13:36It's simple!
13:38The asteroid is on a path like this toward the school.
13:42We don't need to destroy the asteroid.
13:46We just need to change its path.
13:49And here's how we do it!
13:55Carlos!
13:58The magnetic rammer slammer on this space pod can pull the asteroid right out of its path.
14:04Just launch this baby and rammo!
14:08A done deal!
14:09Uh, looks like your idea is out to launch.
14:14Ralphie!
14:18The only thing out of here...is me!
14:24Hold it!
14:25You can't go alone, Carlos!
14:27It's too dangerous!
14:29You coming on?
14:30Um, well, uh, actually I was thinking of, uh, Dorothy Ann!
14:36This whole thing is her idea!
14:38Fine!
14:38I want to go!
14:40No way, D.A.
14:42We need you here!
14:43You're the expert!
14:45Well then, I'll go!
14:48I've always wanted to meet an asteroid up close and personal!
14:52Move over, Carlos!
14:53I'll drive!
14:56Prepare to launch space pod!
15:11Ready to launch!
15:14Launch!
15:17Wahoo!
15:21Wahoo!
15:22Wahoo!
15:23Wahoo!
15:24Wahoo!
15:27This could be the most important thing I ever do in my life, Ms. Frizzle.
15:31As long as it's not the last thing, we'll be fine.
15:35Arm the rammer-slammer.
15:38Armed and ready to fire.
15:48Reverse thrust, Ms. Frizzle.
15:54It's not moving.
15:56I'm at full emergency power.
15:58We're still not moving it.
16:00It's too big and heavy.
16:08Not only that, we're stuck.
16:11They're stuck.
16:12Oh bad, oh bad, oh bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad.
16:16This space pod can't pull the asteroid out of its path.
16:20Because the asteroid is so much bigger and heavier than the space pod.
16:25What if we become bigger and heavier than the asteroid?
16:29Wouldn't our gravity pull it into an orbit around us?
16:32Just like we got stuck in an orbit around the moon?
16:36Terrific.
16:36Then we can babysit the asteroid for the rest of our natural lives.
16:41Not if we get rid of it.
16:44Get rid of it?
16:45Exactly.
16:46We get big, swing the asteroid around us, then get small again.
16:52Losing our gravitational pull and sending the asteroid flying into the sun and gone forever.
17:01Right.
17:02And now Carlos and the frizz at the same time?
17:05Wrong.
17:06Maybe they can't get the pod off the asteroid, but they can escape the pod.
17:11How?
17:13EVA.
17:14Extravehicular activity.
17:16DA to Miss Frizzle.
17:18I have a plan.
17:19I sure hope it's better than Carlos' plan.
17:25We're counting on you, Liz.
17:27Earth's coming out fast.
17:28You have to make this bus as big and as heavy as you can.
17:33At least as heavy as the moon.
17:36Just do it!
17:43Bigger!
17:47Bigger!
17:50All right!
17:54We're coming, Carlos!
17:59It's working, Miss Frizzle!
18:02The gravity of the space bus is pulling us in!
18:06Well done, class!
18:07Prepare for ejection, Carlos.
18:09Duck!
18:10Chill out, Ralphie.
18:12It only looks like it's going to hit us, but it's going to go around us in an egg-shaped
18:18orbit.
18:18If it doesn't, we're going to be scrambled eggs!
18:22It's going to be closed, Miss Frizzle!
18:25You sure this is going to work?
18:27In the immortal words of my cousin Bob, it better...
18:32Eject!
18:38Open the hatch!
18:39Hatch!
18:40Hatch opened!
18:44They're back!
18:46Yay!
18:48It worked!
18:51Man, we were almost living space junk!
18:54Now all we have to do is get smaller, at just the right time, and send that asteroid on a
19:01path right into the sun!
19:03Isn't this exciting?
19:06Lieutenant Liz, prepare to shrink us back to normal size, and release the asteroid from our gravitational pull.
19:13You can do it, Liz!
19:15You've got the right stuff!
19:17If you don't do it, we'll all be the right stuffing!
19:21Carlos!
19:22Ten seconds to release!
19:25Mark!
19:26Ten!
19:28Nine!
19:28Eight!
19:29Seven!
19:32Six!
19:34Five!
19:34Do we get extra math credit for this, Miss Frizzle?
19:37Four!
19:39Three!
19:41Two!
19:43Five!
19:44Release!
19:48Yay!
19:49The asteroid's free!
19:50And on a direct path to the sun!
19:55Hey, it's NASA!
19:56They said they'll be right with me!
19:58Tell them, never mind, we took care of it!
20:01But thanks anyway!
20:03Yeah, right!
20:04Tell them we already found the asteroid, followed it, and finished it off!
20:12Yay!
20:14We did it!
20:15Awesome!
20:17Well, we don't have to worry about that asteroid anymore!
20:20Way to go, DA!
20:22Way to go, Lieutenant Liz!
20:25Prepare for re-entry!
20:27We're going home!
20:35It looks like the Fourth of July out there!
20:44Come out here, Evan!
20:46Oh!
20:47It's a meteor shower!
20:51Isn't that spectacular?
20:54Oh, it's too bad Dorothy ends on that field trip with her class.
20:59Your sister would have loved to have seen this.
21:02Beam us down, Lizzy!
21:07Good old building.
21:09Thanks to D8, you won't be crushed by an asteroid this school year.
21:13And if one does decide to mess with you, we know what to do with it, don't we gang?
21:19Change its course, of course.
21:22Carlos!
21:24Good one, Carlos!
