The crew ventures beyond Earth orbit — exploring the Moon, Europa's ice oceans, solar sails, comets, black holes, and surviving a station emergency. Bigger challenges, deeper science, growing confidence.

The crew helps set up a lunar research outpost. Lunar dust jams equipment and they must adapt their tools for the harsh Moon surface.

Data from Europa suggests liquid water under the ice. The crew designs experiments to test if microbial life could survive in similar conditions.

Low on fuel, Mars calculates they can use a solar sail pushed by sunlight. The crew must deploy the giant reflective sheet perfectly.

A rare comet passes through the inner solar system. The crew launches a probe to collect samples, but outgassing creates unexpected debris.

The telescope detects gravitational lensing. Mars is fascinated and terrified as the crew learns about black holes and discovers a hidden star system.

A micrometeorite punctures the power grid. The crew has 4 hours to reroute power before backup runs out. Every kid uses their specialty.
