In this video we pretend to be an astronaut and head to space in our ride on kids rocket ship to prepare for the solar eclipse! We're putting down the power wheels for the day to fly high in our solar system. We also play with our Lego space toys inside!

First, we arrive at the space shuttle launch pad and receive our mission. Launch a satellite to study space before the total solar eclipse. We open the rocket's canopy and buckle up. We raise the launch platform and grab the joysticks as the launch sequence initiates. 3 2 1 liftoff! The ride on rocket ship blasts into the sky and soon we are in space. This is way faster than any of our trucks. We open the cargo bay doors and deploy the satellite just in time for the eclipse. Then we head to Mars in our rocket ship to pick up some space garbage. We make a smooth landing and then collect the trash. We hop back in our rocket after walking on the martian surface and head back to earth. Its a successful mission! After cleaning up that mess, we head inside to play with our Lego space toy sets. First an out of control satellite collides with a space shuttle and then crashes on the moon. The space shuttle is OK, and calls mission control for help. A rocket is deployed and goes to the moon to collect the satellite with the help of a rover team. They find the wreckage and head back to earth. They splash down in the bath tub where a boat is ready to retrieve them. In the educational segment we learn how a solar eclipse works with a moving diorama in the back yard. Remember, don't look at an eclipse without approved eclipse glasses.

Come pretend play with us! Join us kids, toddlers, girls, and boys as we use our ride on toy trucks, toy tractors, and toy equipment to do construction, farming, and home improvement pretend play projects. While we play our games and drive our vehicles, we learn about engineering, science, STEM, and how things work in our educational segment. Thank you for watching Kid Crew!
