S-P-A-C-E

[MOM] Earth to Hannah, time for bed.

[HANNAH] OK Mom, just a little bit longer. I'm finishing up my solar system project for the science fair tomorrow.

[MOM] OK, five minutes.

[HANNAH]
Up there out there
I want to go out there
Where life is like
A giant science fair

Wishin' I was on a mission
Like Stardust or Kepler or Dawn
Cruising the planets and beyond
Seeing where it all comes from

The only place for me
A place I can be free
S-P-A-C-E
It's where I got to be

The only place for me
A place I can be free
S-P-A-C-E
It's where I got to be

The project's due tomorrow
And I have to go to bed

[MOM] OK Hannah, time's up

But I gotta finish it tonight
Or else I'll get an F

[MOM] I'm serious, Hannah

[HANNAH] OK, I'm almost done

If I was smart as Einstein
I'd have an easier time
Like Newton or Galileo
Those guys are my heroes

All the kids at school
Don't think I'm very cool
They call me space cadet
Wish I could fly away in a rocket

The only place for me
A place I can be free
S-P-A-C-E
It's where I got to be

The only place for me
A place I can be free
S-P-A-C-E
It's where I got to be

Where I got to be
Where I got to be
S-P-A-C-E
Where I got to be.

Planetary Posse

[HANNAH] Wow. Where am I? Who are you guys?

[CHORUS]
We are the place to be in the Galaxy
The Planetary Posse for everybody to see
We are the place to be in the Galaxy
If you don't hang with me
You're just a wanna-be!

[SUN]
I am the Sun burning bright for everyone
Four million tons of hydrogen turned helium

It's no delusion - it's just nuclear fusion
It's been proven that I'm always movin'

I've got the pull - keepin y'all in line
Got ya' spinning on your axis throughout space and time

Put your hands up in the air to see a solar flare
C'mon feel the commotion of this giant explosion!

He's hot (How hot?)
10,000 degrees
He's big (How big?)
Almost a million miles
He's old (How old?)
4 billion years
And if you don't believe me, just ask my peers.

We got Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars
They're my crew along with all the other moons and stars
There's Jupiter, Saturn and of course Uranus
He's a really nice planet though his name is heinous
Don't forget Neptune, Pluto and his dwarfy friends
The Universe is cool because it never ends.

Each one of these peeps has got something to say
The most talented troupe in the Milky Way

[MERCURY]
Yo' I'm Mercury, you can call me Merc
First planet in line but that don't make me a jerk.

Yeah, I'm #1, I go around the sun
In just 88 days, I get cold and then I blaze.

I'm not tilted or wilted 'cuz I got no air
Covered with craters so please don't stare.

I'm rocky and stocky built like a jockey
Smallest of our bunch, made with metals, packed with punch - Yo'!

[VENUS]
V to the E to the N – U – S
I'm the hottest and brightest, don't be envious

I've got a nickname, it's "Morning Star"
And I'm covered in clouds that are thick as tar

There are volcanoes all over my surface
Forgive me if I'm volatile, it's not on purpose

I'm the 2nd closet planet to the Sun
If you like sulfuric acid we could have some fun

[EARTH]
Third is the word, my name is Planet Earth
I'm oozing with life, every day I give birth

To plants and people and animals and bugs
I'm like a big round mama and I love to give hugs

To the north pole - Whoa!
And the south pole - Whoa!
To the moon - Whoa!
And the O2 - Whoa!

I'm a blue and white marble, floating in space
With jungles, rocks, and oceans and tectonic plates

I got an atmosphere, biosphere, geosphere and hydrosphere
And if that's not enough I even got a cryosphere

8,000 miles wide but I don't need a diet
Got lots of gravity, dare you to defy it
I've got summer, winter, spring and fall
If you haven't guessed yet - I've got it all!

[MARS]
'Sup I'm Mars - I'm red as rust
Topped with canyons and craters all covered in dust

Got CO2 and H2O
Will people live on me? Wouldn't you like to know?

I got 24 hours in my day
And I'm a lot like Earth some scientists say

But I own 2 moons and lots of dunes
C'mon hit the floor for planet # 4

[JUPITER]
I'm Jupiter and I'm really huge
The largest planet, in fact, with 62 moons

Got a Great Red Spot on my face
And I'm the fastest spinner if you wanna race

I've got colored bands, a giant made of gas
There are clouds and storms all over my mass

Takes me 12 years to orbit 'round the sun
If you jive with # 5 then I'm your favorite one.

[SATURN]
Hey everybody, I'm 6th and I'm Saturn
I got swirly winds in a stripey pattern

I'm pretty famous for my pretty rings
But what I really love to do is dance and sing

With my 62 moons I'm never alone
Hydrogen and helium call me their home

My magnetosphere makes a gorgeous aurora
Loop the Sun in 29 years, hope that doesn't bore ya'

[URANUS]
I'm lucky # 7, Uranus is my name
Living way up in the heavens, got some ice and methane

I like to spin on my side
And in reverse, kick it with a backslide

I'm electric and greenish blue
Got lots of seasons and 27 moons

In 84 years I'll orbit our Sun
Doing windmills the whole way, poppin', lockin', spinning, spun

[NEPTUNE]
Yo' I'm Neptune and I'm really far out
I've got a Great Dark Spot, that's nothin' to laugh about

I'm freezing cold, got methane ice
I'm blue as an ocean in paradise

My 13 moons and I like to travel
Plus I've got a few rings made of rocks and gravel

All of my days are not very long
Just 17 hours - almost as long as this song

I'm the 8th and last planet out of my homies
165 years from the Sun - it can get kinda lonely

[PLUTO and DWARF PLANETS]
Hi I'm Pluto and I've been demoted
I demand a recount for all who voted

Now I'm a dwarf planet hangin' in the Kuiper Belt
But I still can jam it, so cool I'll never melt

I got 3 moons and a few new pals
Here's the other dwarfs in alphabetical

There's Ceres, Eris, Haumea and Makemake
Maybe 200 more which is quite a shocka'

I'm the king of the munchkins but that's alright
I'm still a stella fella and I'll always shine bright

Orbital Mechanics/Gravity

[HANNAH] Space is so cool! It's like a big party. There's a pulse that keeps the groove, but what make everything move?

We like to move it. We like to groove it. We like to, we like to, we like to move it.

Gravity's got a grip on me, gravity can get heavy
Gravity's a force that brings me down, down, down, down

Rotation needs coordination
Dizzy whizzy fly gyration
Whirling, swirling, turning, spinning
Round, round, round, round

Revolution is the way we roll
Ring around the orbital
Swivel, cycle, circle
Loop the Sun, Sun, Sun, Sun

Magnetizing is hypnotizing
It's so strong there's no compromising
Attracting, bringing, pulling,
It's so fun, fun, fun, fun

Propulsion is to accelerate
Caffeinate right into space
Push, propel, launch
Into the air, air, air, air

Trajectory - what the heck does that mean?
Hit a moving mark accurately
Direct connect, aiming
But to where, where, where, where

Gravity. It's a pull party. Gravity. You got a hold on me.
Rotation. No fakin'. Rotation. Gyration.
Revolution. Keep loopin'. Revolution. Keeps cruisin'
Magnetize. Hey guys. Magnetize. Don't be shy.
Propulsion. Keep the motion. Propulsion. Big explosion.
Trajectory. You got the best of me. Trajectory. Aim for what you see.

We like to move it, move it. We like to groove it, groove it.
We like to, we like to, we like to -- MOVE IT!!!

Moon Dance

[HANNAH] "One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind."

It's a marvelous night for a moondance
So let's moonwalk the night away
Inviting all of the lunatics
To come on, come out and play

We're the moons and we like to orbit
Staying loyal to our planet
We go round and round and round it
So much love we can hardly stand it

Some like to call us satellites
There're hundreds of us in the sky
More moons discovered every day
Lighting up the darkest nights

We've all got one thing in common
That we're totally unique
Some are huge and some are tiny
Some are spheres and some are freaks

Some of us are icy
Some are dust and rock and stone
Some of us have really cool names
And some of us are unknown

The most famous moon of all
Is anything but small
She's the 2nd brightest body in the sky
She's the Earth's best friend and trusted ally

She goes simply by the name Moon
Depending on what language you speak
Man has walked upon her
She's a chic antique

I've got no atmosphere to speak of
No sound or wind or air
The footprints that Armstrong left on me
Are actually still there
I've got 1/6 of Earth's gravity
And I'm a quarter of her size
I might be a bit less powerful
But I control her oceans' tides

I'm egg-shaped and have moonquakes
I attract lots of solar wind
Got craters, mountains and ice
Yeah, I'm pretty thick skinned.

People only see one side of me
It's my smiling happy face
But what most of them don't know is
That I'm moving further away in space – in space.

We're all stuck in our planets' gravity
They adopted us long ago
We feel a devoted harmony
Staying close to our happy home

So it's a marvelous night for a moondance
So let's moonwalk the night away
Inviting all of the lunatics
To come on, come out and play

Space out.

Meteor-Wrong Blues

[HANNAH] Wow ... what was that flash of light? Hey – are you a comet?

[METEOR] A comet? You've got to be kidding me.

[HANNAH] Oh, I'm sorry. Didn't mean to upset you.

[METEOR] Kid, you don't know the half of it.

Sometimes I don't feel right
Like I'm a Meteor-Wrong
Wandering alone at night
So I sing this sad, sad, song
Cuz I'm misunderstood
Lots of people think I'm a comet
And that don't feel so good
It makes me feel totally unwanted

Let's set the record straight
I've got a few types of names
None of 'em are as hip as Hale Bopp
But it's my only claim to fame

When I'm up in space
I'm called a Meteoroid
I'm just a pea-sized piece of rock
I'm homeless and unemployed

When I'm in Earth's atmosphere
I'm called a Meteor
Just a quick flash of light
I'm sorry if you wanted more
But I'm doing the best
I'm doing the best that I can
So if you're looking for something long lasting
Then I guess I'm not your woman

They call me a shooting star
But I'm not even a star
I'm a tiny piece of debris
That's going fast and really far
Sometimes I can reach speeds
Like 100,000 miles an hour
But if I'm from a comet
You can see me in a meteor shower

Sometimes I hit the ground
That's when I'm a Meteorite
I cause a big explosion
I don't mean to be impolite
I'm just a complex girl
A complex girl who makes mistakes
But if I land on your house
I didn't mean for everything to break

So if you wish upon me
Well, I hope it comes true
But if it don't
There's nothin' I can do
Cuz sometimes I'm just
A Meteor-Wrong and that is just the truth
Til then I've got the pitiful Meteor-Wrong blues!!!

Stand-Up Comet

Ladies and Gentlemen, direct from the Oort Cloud, it's the funny man himself. Here's Halley.

Hello everybody -- how we doing tonight? It's good to see ya' here! Wacka! Wacka! Wacka! All right. We're gonna have some fun. My name is Halley, I'm a comet. A stand-up comet. Alrighty then. OK.

So guys, you're looking good out there. I see a couple shining stars in the audience ... and a couple stars with shiners. Look at that guy over there - he's a real crater face. A face only a mother could love.

Speaking of mothers, my mother's so old she's made of dust. Zing! Hello. Geez, can't I get a laugh? Ya' think is easy up here. Cut me some slack -- I'm the only guy in space who gets booked every 75 years. Who's my agent? Father Time? Hello. Geez, a black hole has more personality than you guys. Really.

Lemme tell you, my neighborhood's really gone downhill. The Kuiper belt ain't what it used to be. I've got this crazy rap band blasting me out next door. What are they called, the Neptunes or something? They only good thing about 'em is they're louder than my wife. Hello. Don't even get me started on her.

My wife -- she's always on me to do something about my hair - she doesn't like the tail. She says mullets went out of style last millennium. I say, "Hey! Mullets are cool. Listen, you got business in the front and party in the back!" Come on! My wife, she's always complaining about my wardrobe. Telling me to pull up my pants 'cuz she can see the moon. So what'd she get me for my 4 billionth birthday? Another asteroid belt. Another one? Can't a guy get some socks? It's cold out here.

So what do you think about that Saturn? Pretty cute, huh? We go way back. I knew her since she was a kid. Sweet girl but not so clean. Her mother used to say every time she got out of the bathtub she left a ring.

Believe it or not I'm not much of a ladies man. I've never had much luck with the ladies. I picked up this nickname "Dirty Snowball" somewhere along the way. What's that supposed to mean? First of all I'm made of ice, thank you very much. And I'm no dirtier than all those gas-bag planets like Uranus. Don't even get me started on him. He still owes me money.

I got a couple of kids. They're a piece of work, I tell ya'. Junior calls himself Hale Bopp -- he's a bright one. He'll go far. But the other ones I hardly ever see ... kids these days, so hard to keep track of 'em. I got this one who's a hooligan. One night he's on a joyride around the solar system and BOOM, crashes right into Jupiter. He said he didn't see it. How can you not see the biggest planet in the solar system. Hello. So I ask him, "Weren't you wearing your glasses?" He says, "Yeah Pops -- but they kept freezing up." Because of the atmosphere.

Alright, they're telling me rap it up. I gotta get on the bus. The driver's crazy -- all over the road. A real astronut.

Anyway you've all been great. I hear the food's delicious even though this place lacks atmosphere. And from the sounds of it, an inability to recognize true talent. Me! Tip your waitresses. Keep shooting for the stars. And watch out for those Asteroids. Crazy kids.

The Asteroid Gang

We're the asteroids! Yeah!
Smash, bash, clash, crash
Slam, wham, bam, ram
Asteroids!
We're the asteroids!
We're the asteroids!
We're the asteroids!
We rock. We rock.

Made of iron and rock
And we're born to rock
No need to talk
We got Mohawks
We're the asteroids!
Asteroids.
We rock. We rock.

We haven't changed
Not gonna change
So don't disdain
If you go insane
We can be a pain
But can't be tamed
'Cuz we're DANGEROUS

We rock. We rock.
We rock. We rock.
We rock. We rock.
We rock. We rock.
We're the asteroids!
We rock.

We've got a belt
The Asteroid Belt
If you hit this belt
You'll get a welt

We mosh around
And can be found
By Jupiter and Mars
Downtown

We're the asteroids! Asteroids!
We rock.
We're the asteroids! Asteroids!
We rock.
Rock rock rock rock rock rock

We're strange and small
But if we fall
Like a cannonball
On you you'll call
The hospital
Don't take it personal
We're anarchical
We're RADICAL!

We rock, we rock.
We rock, we rock, we rock rock
Rock rock rock rock rock rock

Smash, bash, clash, crash
Slam, bam, ram, scram
Asteroids!
We're the asteroids!
We're the asteroids!
We're the asteroids!
We rock. We rock. We rock. WE ROCK!

[HANNAH]
Oh no, the asteroids crashed into my science project and broke it. I'll never finish it now. I'm gonna fail for sure. I can't believe this. What am I going to do?

We're the Scientists

[SCIENTISTS] Yoo hoo! Buongiorno! Hello!

[HANNAH] Yeah?

[SCIENTISTS] You called?

[HANNAH] Um, Are you who I think you are?

[SCIENTISTS] I think we are who you think we are.

I'm Galileo.
I'm Isaac Newton.
And I'm Albert Einstein.

[HANNAH] What are you doing here?

[SCIENTISTS] We've come to take you out of your quagmire.

(Chorus)We're the scientists, we understand you
We're the experts, don't be afraid to fail
We're the scientists, we want to help you
Believe you can do it - take a breath and exhale

Life's a big experiment
We don't know how and why
But your dreams will never come true
If you won't even try

They say the greatest risk
Is to risk nothing at all
So get back on that horse
Every time you fall

[HANNAH] That's easy for you to say - you're like the most famous geniuses ever. What would you guys know about failing?

[GALILEO] Oh come on, Bella, nobody's perfect. Take it away, Isaac!

[NEWTON]I made my big discovery
When an apple fell on my head
It could have been a bad day
But I made a positive of it instead
Because my mind was open
I discovered a powerful law
Gravity rules our planet
And the whole world was in awe

[GALILEO] Oh you had it easy!

I designed the 1st telescope
To investigate the sky
But what I ended up discovering
Actually made me cry.
Nobody believed my ideas
Even though I was correct
When I tried to convince the public
I was put under arrest!

[EINSTEIN] Oh you think that's bad ...

My relatives didn't get relativity
They made fun of my hair
They made me regret ever sharing
That E = MC2 (MC squared)
But I persisted with my theory
And found people who understood
Now I'm a legend
Like the Little Engine Who Could.

[SCIENTISTS and HANNAH]Do you think you can? I think I can.
Do you think you can? I think I can.
Do you know you can? I know I can.
Get it? Got it? Good.

(Chorus)

[GALILEO]Scientists are curious people
We never stop asking questions
The answers lead to more queries
And sometimes indigestion

[NEWTON]To know is to ask
To ask is to know
If you're not facing your fears
Then how will you ever grow?
For instance ...

[SCIENTISTS]Copernicus shook things up when he said planets circled the sun
Fibonacci amd his sequence took quite a while to find the sum
Kepler's elliptical orbit idea was first taken as fiction
And Darwin's very theory created controversial friction

People told Benjamin Franklin to go fly a kite
And because of Edison's tenacity, we now can see at night
Mrs. Herschel had ups and downs before she won a prestigious honor
Huygens skipped dinner observing Saturn's rings and yonder

Pasteur and his Petri dishes made everybody squirm
While Halley sat patiently waiting for his comet to return
Marie Curie was radioactive before she won 2 Nobel Prizes
And Hubble showed that the universe will always be different sizes

Goddard was made fun of when he believed man could go to the moon
While Stephen Hawking and his black hole really cleared the room
Kuiper gave us new techniques for looking at the sky
But his ideas weren't even proven until 20 years after he died

We tell you all these facts, not to bring you down
But to remind you that we're all human, and we weren't always renowned
It took years of hard work and belief in our dreams
But no matter how tough it gets, it's never as bad as it seems

(Chorus)'Cuz we're the scientists, we understand you
We're the experts, don't be afraid to fail
We're the scientists, we want to help you
Believe you can do it…

[HANNAH] I believe I can do it!

[SCIENTISTS] We believe you can do it!

[ALL] Take a breath and exhale!

Bye Bye! Ciao! Auf Wiedersehen! Bye!

Hey Newton - do you have a brother named Fig?

The Big Bang

[HANNAH] I know I can do it. I'm going to finish this project, and it's gonna turn out awesome. I'll just ask for a little help from my friends. Together we'll make a big bang!

[SUN] Space. Solar System.

[PLANETS] Big Bang. Big-big Bang.

[MOONS] S-P-A-C-E. Space is where I've got to be.

[METEOR] S to the P to the A-C-E. Space is the only place for me.

[COMET] Big Bang

[ASTEROIDS] Big Bang. Big-big Bang.

[GRAVITY] Ooo-ooo. Ooo-ooo. Big Bang.

[ALL] Big Bang. Big-big Bang. Big Bang.

[HANNAH] The only place for me. A place I can be free. S-P-A-C-E. It's where I've got to be. S-P-A-C-E. It's where I've got to be.
