Also, I'm glad to see that they're painting the rocket and that they packed extra towels. Those are the two most vital parts of space-travel, you know. XD

...and then Spike crash landed on an alien planet, where he had to pull little men up from the ground by their leaf heads and then use them as a cohesive little army of cute plant-people to rebuild his spaceship and return home.....or he crash lands in the palace...
