1
00:00:23,608 --> 00:00:26,361
Is that signal really coming from space?
2
00:00:26,444 --> 00:00:27,862
It sure is, Charlie Brown.
3
00:00:30,156 --> 00:00:33,326
It sounds like
when my dolly's running out of batteries.
4
00:00:33,410 --> 00:00:36,454
Or a washing machine full of baseballs.
5
00:00:36,538 --> 00:00:38,832
Or a barking dog.
6
00:00:40,917 --> 00:00:45,964
Wow, imagine that. Intelligent dog life
somewhere among the stars.
7
00:01:11,114 --> 00:01:14,618
Ha! Intelligent dog life?
That'd be a first.
8
00:01:16,620 --> 00:01:18,330
So what do we do now?
9
00:01:18,413 --> 00:01:21,207
Let's prepare a mission proposal
to show CARA.
10
00:01:21,291 --> 00:01:26,213
Oh, I'll put in a request for funding.
That's my favorite part.
11
00:01:27,797 --> 00:01:28,798
We know.
12
00:01:29,799 --> 00:01:30,800
Snoopy, you--
13
00:01:32,886 --> 00:01:34,930
Where did that silly dog go?
14
00:01:36,306 --> 00:01:37,599
I think I know.
15
00:01:38,099 --> 00:01:40,060
He's headed for the launchpad!
16
00:01:44,814 --> 00:01:48,026
Snoopy, you can't just fly off to space.
17
00:01:50,487 --> 00:01:54,115
Even if you are an experienced
NASA-trained astronaut.
18
00:01:54,199 --> 00:01:59,788
Yeah. There are rules and protocols for
this sort of thing. Rules and protocols!
19
00:02:02,165 --> 00:02:04,000
We're losing the signal.
20
00:02:04,584 --> 00:02:05,794
Charlie Brown!
21
00:02:05,877 --> 00:02:11,216
It's highly unorthodox, but if we don't
act now, we might lose our chance.
22
00:02:11,299 --> 00:02:15,470
Wait. Are you saying you want to
help Snoopy blast off to space?
23
00:02:15,554 --> 00:02:19,391
I'm saying I'm swept up in the moment.
To mission control!
24
00:03:10,275 --> 00:03:11,693
I'll be flight director.
25
00:03:11,776 --> 00:03:15,030
Marcie, do you mind resuming
your duties as mission scientist?
26
00:03:18,408 --> 00:03:19,659
I'd call that a yes.
27
00:03:20,368 --> 00:03:22,537
Isn't it exciting, Charlie Brown?
28
00:03:22,621 --> 00:03:26,291
Just think,
our first encounter with alien life.
29
00:03:29,586 --> 00:03:34,049
Greetings from Earth. Please accept
this gift as a token of friendship.
30
00:03:41,389 --> 00:03:44,643
It's bad enough worrying what
everyone thinks of me on this planet,
31
00:03:44,726 --> 00:03:47,103
let alone all the other planets out there.
32
00:03:47,187 --> 00:03:52,442
Why bother going to space to find aliens?
Everyone knows they're right… here!
33
00:03:58,365 --> 00:04:03,370
If an alien was hiding in a broom closet,
a broom would be the perfect disguise.
If an alien was hiding in a broom closet,

34
00:04:04,037 --> 00:04:05,080
I'm on to you.
35
00:04:06,081 --> 00:04:09,626
All right, everyone, let's focus.
Are we ready to launch?
36
00:04:09,709 --> 00:04:10,794
Ready.
37
00:04:10,877 --> 00:04:12,045
Ready.
38
00:04:12,128 --> 00:04:13,213
Ready.
39
00:04:15,298 --> 00:04:17,132
Sir? Sir.
40
00:04:20,136 --> 00:04:21,137
Present.
41
00:04:21,221 --> 00:04:23,640
Charlie Brown, you know Snoopy best,
42
00:04:23,723 --> 00:04:26,643
so you're in charge
of capsule communications.
43
00:04:26,726 --> 00:04:28,270
I guess we're doing this.
44
00:04:28,770 --> 00:04:30,438
Snoopy, do you copy?
45
00:04:35,193 --> 00:04:36,820
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
46
00:04:36,903 --> 00:04:39,197
What is going on here?
47
00:04:39,281 --> 00:04:44,035
You can't just borrow a state-of-the-art
spacecraft for a joyride.
48
00:04:46,413 --> 00:04:50,333
Even if you are experienced
NASA-trained astronauts,
49
00:04:50,417 --> 00:04:53,587
there are rules and protocols!
50
00:04:54,379 --> 00:04:55,881
Sorry, CARA.
51
00:04:56,756 --> 00:05:00,010
We never would have done it
under normal circumstances,
52
00:05:00,093 --> 00:05:03,722
but we think we may have found
a signal from intelligent alien life!
53
00:05:04,681 --> 00:05:07,642
Well, that would be a huge discovery.
54
00:05:07,726 --> 00:05:10,854
Or maybe there's alien life right… here!
55
00:05:13,481 --> 00:05:14,691
Rats.
56
00:05:22,115 --> 00:05:23,533
Listen to this, CARA.
57
00:05:28,121 --> 00:05:33,043
Good guess, but I'm afraid that's
not a signal from an alien civilization.
58
00:05:35,795 --> 00:05:37,964
It's the microwave in the break room.
59
00:05:39,132 --> 00:05:41,468
It always does that
when someone's making popcorn.
60
00:05:48,975 --> 00:05:51,394
No sense in letting
good popcorn go to waste.
61
00:05:52,729 --> 00:05:56,024
So I guess alien life
really is just science fiction.
62
00:05:56,107 --> 00:05:58,485
On the contrary, Charlie Brown,
63
00:05:58,568 --> 00:06:02,864
searching for life outside of Earth
is one of NASA's biggest goals.
searching for life outside of Earth
is one of NASA's biggest goals.
64
00:06:03,448 --> 00:06:06,284
So you are looking for
little green space people?
65
00:06:06,368 --> 00:06:08,703
Or are they already here?
66
00:06:11,539 --> 00:06:12,791
Not exactly.
67
00:06:12,874 --> 00:06:18,255
Our search right now is mostly focused
on looking for microorganisms,
68
00:06:18,338 --> 00:06:23,051
which are forms of life so tiny,
we need a microscope to see them.
69
00:06:23,134 --> 00:06:25,845
We don't know for sure
what we might discover,
70
00:06:25,929 --> 00:06:27,639
but we've already found many clues
71
00:06:27,722 --> 00:06:32,185
to suggest that life could exist
somewhere in the universe,
72
00:06:32,269 --> 00:06:35,564
maybe even in our own solar system.
73
00:06:41,319 --> 00:06:43,029
Needs butter.
74
00:06:45,699 --> 00:06:48,076
I really thought I had something there.
75
00:06:48,577 --> 00:06:50,161
Don't worry, Franklin.
76
00:06:50,245 --> 00:06:52,872
This may not have been
the breakthrough you thought,
77
00:06:52,956 --> 00:06:56,459
but the next discovery
could be right on the horizon.
78
00:06:57,294 --> 00:07:02,757
After all, the search for life
will be the voyage of a lifetime for…
After all, the search for life
will be the voyage of a lifetime for…
79
00:07:04,426 --> 00:07:06,595
these lucky robots!
80
00:07:08,013 --> 00:07:09,514
- Amazing.
- Wow!
81
00:07:10,098 --> 00:07:12,017
Who could compete with that?
82
00:07:19,232 --> 00:07:21,192
Oh, cheer up, Snoopy.
83
00:07:21,776 --> 00:07:25,655
Until we have robust systems
to allow for human exploration,
84
00:07:25,739 --> 00:07:30,452
it's just more practical for the exploring
of other planets to be done by robots.
85
00:07:40,462 --> 00:07:42,214
That's automation for ya.
