8
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:34,560
Speaker 1: for this one? Me too? Let's go. One day, Alec

9
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:38,199
Speaker 1: was at his home playing with his baby sister Lula

10
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 1: and his dog Decks. They were having so much fun

11
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:47,480
Speaker 1: in his backyard. Alec really loved dogs. Do you guys

12
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: like dogs? Me too. Puppies are so fun and big

13
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: dogs are really cool because they can fetch sticks and

14
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: balls and frisbees and wow, there's so many things you

15
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: can do with dog. Was well, Alec and his dog,

16
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: we're partners. You see. His dog, Dax was not like

17
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 1: a normal dog. His dog was on the Spy Kids

18
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: team with Alec. Oh my gosh. They were such a

19
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 1: good team. There were so many things that they were

20
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: doing together, solving crime and stopping bad guys and doing

21
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 1: amazing things. One day, when they were playing in their backyard,

22
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 1: Alec got a message from Spy Kids that said, Alec,

23
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: we need your help. It's only something that you and

24
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:44,320
Speaker 1: Dax can do. We need you to go to the Moon.

25
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:50,360
Speaker 1: To the Moon, Alex said this was a dream he

26
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: had had forever. He would be one of the first

27
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: Spy Kids to ever go to space on a real mission.

28
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 1: The rest of the message said, Alec, we need you

29
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: and Dax to get on a rocket ship and go

30
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 1: to the Moon. You see, moon has a secret, hidden

31
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,959
Speaker 1: population of dogs that need to be rescued, and you're

32
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 1: the only one that can do it. Hurry. Alec could

33
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: not believe what he had heard. You see, did you

34
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:26,839
Speaker 1: know that on the Moon that there's a whole bunch

35
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 1: of dogs that lived there? Me and neither. This is

36
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: very strange, but Alec looked into it, and sure enough,

37
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: on this one part of the moon there were moondogs.

38
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 1: Have you ever heard of a moondog? Yeah? Me, neither.

39
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:48,839
Speaker 1: But Alex saw that moondogs. They can fly and they

40
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:55,639
Speaker 1: know how to talk like people talk. Are you kidding me?

41
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 1: This sounds so awesome. Let's go, Dax. Alec and Dak

42
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: jumped into their race car and zoomed off to where

43
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 1: the rocket ship would be waiting for them. As they

44
00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: buckled into their seats on the rocket ship and countered

45
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 1: down three, two, one, blast off. As they blasted off

46
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 1: into the sky, Alec and Dax both looked out the window.

47
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: There goes Earth as they watched it fade into the distance.

48
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: They were shooting and blasting way in the sky, way

49
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: past the clouds, way higher than airplanes, and into space.

50
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: Have you ever been to space before? Me? Neither? Wow.

51
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: Alec couldn't believe his eyes. There were so many cool

52
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 1: things as they were getting closer and closer to the

53
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: stars and into the deep dark space, which is kind

54
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: of scary, but Alec was brave when his dog acts

55
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: was with him. As they were getting closer and closer

56
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: to the Moon, Alex was wondering, how in the world

57
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: are we gonna save and rescue these dogs? And I

58
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 1: wonder why they need rescuing. M hmm, very strange. As

59
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 1: they carefully landed on the Moon, they put on their

60
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: space helmets and their astronaut suits and carefully stepped out

61
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: of the door. Did you know that the moon is

62
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 1: very different than Earth? Yeah? The moon in the sky,

63
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,359
Speaker 1: you know that big bright circle that we see at nighttime.

64
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: That's the moon. And on the Moon the gravity is

65
00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: very different. Do you know what gravity is. Yeah, gravity

66
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: is an invisible force that pulls us down to the

67
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 1: ground if we're jumping. So can you jump for me? One? Two, three?

68
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:14,799
Speaker 1: Jump really high? Whoa Yeah, when you jump, your legs

69
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: push you high off the ground. But then, wait a second,

70
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,039
Speaker 1: why do you come back down to the ground. Why

71
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 1: don't we just blast off like a rocket ship? Very strange. Well,

72
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: it used to be a mystery, but now it's not.

73
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: It's actually gravity. Gravity pulls you back down to the ground,

74
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 1: which is a really good thing, or else we would

75
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 1: just be floating around in the clouds without gravity. That

76
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: would be a problem. Well, you see, on the moon

77
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: gravity is not as strong as it is here, And

78
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: so when you jump on the Moon you soar and

79
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 1: fly a lot higher then on Earth. And so as

80
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 1: they were walking around on the Moon, they were almost

81
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 1: bound sing with each step they took, boing boing Boingdax

82
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: thought it was so cool as he jumped around, jumping

83
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 1: higher than he had ever dreamed. They had to follow

84
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 1: the map all the way to the spot on the

85
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 1: moon where the dogs lived, and Oh dex it's over there,

86
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: let's go. They were getting closer and closer, and all

87
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: of a sudden, there, wait a second, there's no dogs here.

88
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: What I thought? Every yeah, everything's empty. There's there's no

89
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 1: dogs here. Hell balls, I hear them. Where's it coming from?

90
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: Alex said. They looked everywhere, but wait a second. They

91
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 1: looked up in the sky and there they were. There

92
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: were five moon dogs floating in the air above Moon.

93
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 1: They weren't coming back down. Uh, what's the problem? Can't

94
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: you guys get down? And the moondog said no, we're

95
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 1: stuck up here. Oh no, this is the worst most

96
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: terrible thing ever. You see. Moondogs they can fly, but

97
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 1: they're supposed to be able to come back down because

98
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: of the gravity on Earth. But something must be wrong

99
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: with Moon's gravity. This is not good. We they're gonna

100
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 1: just what if they float right off into space? That's

101
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,679
Speaker 1: a problem. Her and get some rope, Dax run. Dax

102
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: took off running for some rope. He found some rope

103
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: and brought it back to Alec. Alec made a loop

104
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 1: out of it and threw it up really high and

105
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: started to tie onto some of the moondogs that were

106
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: floating and he was able to hold them back down

107
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: to the ground. Oh, thank you very much. All the

108
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 1: moondogs were so happy to be back on the Moon,

109
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 1: but something was definitely wrong. The gravity on the Moon

110
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: wasn't working for the moondogs anymore, and so they needed

111
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: to go somewhere safer. Al Right, guys, come on our spaceship.

112
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: That'll be better. Then you won't fly off into space.

113
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: Come on. All five of the moondogs followed Decks and

114
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 1: Alec back into the spaceship. The moondogs said, it's been terrible.

115
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: All the Moon's gravity isn't working for us anymore. Can

116
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 1: we come back with you? Are you kidding me? That

117
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: would be amazing. Alex said he had always well, he

118
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: didn't know that moondogs existed, but now he had always

119
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 1: wanted a moondog, and there's five five moondogs to come home.

120
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 1: That would be so cool. He couldn't wait to fly

121
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,439
Speaker 1: back to Earth. As they pushed the blashed off button

122
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: none the spaceship. The spaceship took off with all of

123
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 1: the moondogs and Decks excited to go home. Alec had

124
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:32,559
Speaker 1: saved the day. The moondogs were rescued and he got

125
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: five new friends. The end m
