Summary
Buster, after seeing footage of the Moon landing, decides to build a model rocket ship. He recruits Arthur, George, Carl, Francine and Muffy to help him, however, chaos ensues until he receives advice from the guest star astronaut Michael Fincke.
Plot
Buster is watching a show on space and gets interested in it. Buster goes to the hobby store and buys a model rocket. He calls Arthur to help him construct it, but putting the rocket together is easier said then done as it turns out to be a lot more difficult then expected.
The next day Buster recruits Arthur, George, Carl, Francine, and Muffy to help construct the rocket. When they try to construct the rocket chaos takes places and when the parachute rips everyone soon goes to the Sugar Bowl thinking what were they going to do without the parachute.
They then get some motivation from an astronaut and Muffy gets an idea on another parachute and soon construction on the rocket resumes. After completing it, however it starts raining and the gang is forced to go into the house until the rain stopped.
After the rain stopped they decide to launch it and the launch was successful, but it doesn't land back at the house it lands in the hands of the astronaut who gives the rocket back to Buster.
