"The gang come across an old industrial boiler and believe they can turn into a rocket, become astronauts and head for Mars, They even improvise spacesuits made out of old sacks. All are aboard for the mission except for Peewee who is asked to do the countdown which they assure her is a very important job. They are amazed to later "lift off" and make it into space - or do they? Although there aren't many laugh-out-loud moments in this short film it is an engaging tale that puts a smile on the face, appropriately timed given the Apollo missions of the era. There is even some 2001..."
