A Giant Leap Adventure Spaceship

And how will they get into space? Well at NASA, of course! The gang sneak into the rocket ship base,  and with a little help from Jessie, a friendly NASA engineer, the team is granted access to a retired rocket. It needs a little spruce up, but that’s okay, the gang get to work!

Next is astronaut training, Hazel puts the gang through some rigorous gym exercises, so they will all be prepared for their trip into space! 

The gang then sneak into the locker rooms, where they all get suited and booted in their astronaut suits. Pauline was very disappointed hers couldn’t be purple!

As they are boarding the spaceship, the adventurers realise they don’t have any food! However will they survive without a biscuit or two!? Connie saves the day by running to get all the freeze-dried snacks that she can carry. But oh no! She is caught on CCTV by the big NASA boss. Will he let them take off? You’ll have to find out!
