16
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 1: j Ben int. We're all on an incredible basketball team together.

17
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: And you know what made this basketball team really special?

18
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 1: It was in space, Yes, on a ship, a huge

19
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:21,959
Speaker 1: ship with thousands of people in outer space. This ship

20
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: was called the Challenger. The Challenger was a really amazing

21
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 1: spaceship that held a whole bunch of people and flew around,

22
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 1: and they often had a lot of basketball tournaments. And well,

23
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 1: you see, Joey, Ben and Tate their basketball team made

24
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: it to the championship game. Isn't that exciting? Do you

25
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: play on a sport team? What's your favorite sport? Is

26
00:01:53,800 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: it soccer or football? Or baseball or basketball? Others? So

27
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: many fun sports, and well this was their favorite sport. Hey, Ben,

28
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: take come over here. Joey said, look, I have everything

29
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 1: ready to go for the big game. Do you guys

30
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: have everything packed up? Sure, dude. Tate opened up his

31
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: bag and everything inside. All the clothes were bright orange.

32
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 1: T only like to wear orange stuff because that was

33
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: his favorite color. Actually orange is my favorite too, so

34
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: that's awesome, tape. But they were all getting ready for

35
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: this big game that was on the moon. Yes, the

36
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: championship basketball game was going to be played on the moon.

37
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: You see, all their normal games were on their spaceship.

38
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: But since it's the championship game, that means it's a

39
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: really big deal. And so when things are a big deal,

40
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 1: you gotta do something epic. And a basketball game on

41
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 1: the moon that's totally epic, right, Well, they had to

42
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 1: get all packed up and the rest of their team

43
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 1: for to start practicing on the moon, because you see,

44
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: when you play basketball on a spaceship like the Challenger

45
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: or on the Moon, the gravity is really different and

46
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: so like the basketball bounce is different, and so they

47
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: had to go and practice. They never played basketball in

48
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 1: the moon yet, but they were really excited. Wouldn't that

49
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: be fun? Isn't we doesn't the moon have like, um,

50
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: like you can kind of bounce higher on the moon

51
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: because it doesn't have his heart of a poll of gravity? Right? Yeah,

52
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: m I wonder what it would be like to play

53
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: a basketball game on the moon. Oh well, this is

54
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 1: perfect because we're gonna find out in just a little bit. Joey,

55
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: Ben and the rest of their team. We're all packed

56
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: ready to roll out, hopped on a rocket and launched

57
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: off for the Moon. It was gonna be a two

58
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: hour flight to get from their ship all the way

59
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: to the Moon, and they were going to be there

60
00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: nice and early, so they're gonna be the first team

61
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 1: to practice on the court there. And when they landed there,

62
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: they couldn't believe it. It was so amazing and from

63
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: when you're standing on the moon and looking back towards Earth,

64
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: Earth looked so small. It just looks like this little

65
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: thing that you could reach out and grab, but you

66
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: can't actually grab it, unfortunately. Well, Joey, Ben and the

67
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 1: rest of the team they got all their basketballs out

68
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: and started practicing. Whoa, guys, this is super weird. Ben

69
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 1: was bouncing the ball so high. Check this out. Joey

70
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: jumped from half court and zoomed in for a slam dunk.

71
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: Holy smokes, I can jump so much higher up here.

72
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: This is incredible. You see, remember when we were talking

73
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: about gravity on the Moon is different. Yeah, gravity on

74
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 1: the Moon means you can there's less gravity, so you

75
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: can jump higher. And so I don't think Joey could

76
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: slam dunk like on Earth on a normal court or

77
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,479
Speaker 1: even on the Challenger, But on the Moon you just

78
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 1: gotta jump a little bit and you go flying. Alright, guys,

79
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:41,119
Speaker 1: bring it in. The coach said, that was a really

80
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: great practice. Well, you guys need to rest up because

81
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,479
Speaker 1: tomorrow is the big game. Make sure you eat a

82
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: nice healthy meal and I'll see you back tomorrow. All right,

83
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: let's go Dayton, Ben, come on. They ran back to

84
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 1: their dorms two eat some dinner and go to sleep,

85
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,479
Speaker 1: because for a big game, like the championship game, you

86
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 1: gotta eat really good and get some extra good sleep

87
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: so that you have plenty of energy. And that's exactly

88
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: what the plane was. But something crazy was going on

89
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 1: and they didn't even know it. But I can't tell

90
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 1: you that yet. That would be skipping ahead in the story. Well,

91
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 1: as they were eating their dinner and getting ready for bed, Hey, Joey,

92
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: how do you think we're gonna do tomorrow? Oh? I

93
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 1: think we're totally gonna win. We've played that team before,

94
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 1: and I think we gotta beat this time, especially now

95
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: that we can all dunk on this hoop because we're

96
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 1: on the moon. I think we're totally gonna win. Yeah,

97
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 1: that would be awesome. Well, I know our team's colors

98
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: aren't orange, but do you think I could wear orange tomorrow?

99
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: Said Tate. Tate, No, we're not the orange team. We're

100
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 1: the blue and red team. You can't wear orange out there.

101
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 1: That would just look ridiculous, and I don't think the

102
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 1: refs would let you play. Okay, Okay, when we win,

103
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: then I'll celebrate with orange. As they all crawled in

104
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: bed and went to sleep. Their heads were filled with

105
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: dreams that night, dreams of a big game, screaming fans, guys,

106
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 1: it's time to wake up. We gotta go, we gotta go.

107
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 1: T was the first one awake and Joey was the

108
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: last one to wake up. He had a hard time

109
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: waking up. But today was the big game. Let's go,

110
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: let's go, let's go. They all grabbed their gear and

111
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: put on their jerseys and ran out to meet up

112
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: with the team, and the coach had some bad news. Guys,

113
00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: something terrible happened last night. You see, while we were sleeping,

114
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: every single basketball in the moon floated off into outer

115
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: space and it's gone. What Ben shouted? What do you mean?

116
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 1: The basketball is just floated away into the moon. How's

117
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: that possible? We're not sure, uh, the coach said, but

118
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: we're pretty sure someone filled the basketballs with something other

119
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 1: than air that made it even lighter and caused it

120
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: to fly to fly away. So it might have been

121
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 1: helium or some other gas. But every basketball is gone,

122
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: and they're going to have to cancel the championship game. No, oh, guys,

123
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: we gotta find it. Paul, uh coach, just give us

124
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: like five minutes I'm sure we can find it. Uh well,

125
00:08:58,080 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 1: I'm not sure if I can do that, but I'll

126
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: go talk to the referees and the officials and see

127
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,839
Speaker 1: if we can, you know, get an extension of maybe

128
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,319
Speaker 1: five minutes. But I'm not sure if that's going to

129
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 1: do us any any good because I've already looked around

130
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 1: and all the basketballs. You can see them way up there,

131
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 1: they're floating around in space. No, coach, we can do this.

132
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: We'll get some basketball's back and we'll still have time

133
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 1: to play the game. Go stall the referees and we'll

134
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: be right back. Come on, let's go, guys. Joey was

135
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 1: the first to lead the way into finding a plan

136
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: as they started brainstorming and thinking of a way to

137
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: get the basketball. M hmmm, what do you think? How

138
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: do you think if basketball's were floating up really high,

139
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 1: way higher than you could reach, and they're floating into space,

140
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 1: how would you get them? Would you like, maybe throw

141
00:09:56,280 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: some rope at them? Know that they're way too tall?

142
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: Maybe uh like get a really big ladder or like

143
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: climb on something really tall, But no, no, look at them,

144
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 1: they're way they're way up there. There's there's no way

145
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: we're running out of time. But then Joey came up

146
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: with a really great idea. Guys, you know how we've

147
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 1: been practicing jumping and we've been getting really good at jumping. Well,

148
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 1: I bet if we jumped really high and maybe even

149
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: got a trampoline, we might be able to jump high

150
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:40,319
Speaker 1: enough to grab these basketballs. Joey, there's no way. They're

151
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:44,320
Speaker 1: like I don't know, they're taller, way taller than my

152
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: house or even like the tallest trees. They're way up there.

153
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 1: I think we can do it. We just gotta find

154
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: a trampoline quick. Joey, Ben and Tape ran around checking

155
00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 1: everywhere for a trampoline, and they found one. Wasn't that big,

156
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 1: but they found one in the workout center and they

157
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 1: pulled it out underneath one of the floating basketball's and

158
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:14,680
Speaker 1: Joey started to bounce. Boom. I need a double bounce.

159
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 1: Double bounce me, guys. Go. Ben and Tate jumped on

160
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: the trampoline and double bounced Joey, who went flying into

161
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 1: the air, soaring past the basketball. He over jumped it. Careful, Joey,

162
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 1: grabbing on your way down. As Joey was soaring through

163
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 1: the air, he finally reached a point where he was

164
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 1: coming back down. Joey sailed through the air. He reached

165
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: out and grabbed one of the basketball's and landed back

166
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: on the moon. Joey did it. He saved the day.

167
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: They ran the ball over to their coach. Their coach

168
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:06,679
Speaker 1: could not believe his eyes, and the game was saved. Now, guys,

169
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 1: we have a championship game to play. Let's go. Wow,

170
