Gill & Pete Blast off into space - figuratively speaking - and look into the Apollo Missions and the Moon Landings. They also find out the huge cultural role The Muppets played in the Space Race. Gill has star-gazing dating tips but then also gets Bruce Willis mixed up with Jim Lovell. Pete attempts impersonations of not one but two US Presidents to varying degrees of success.

Also you heard it here first. The New Game Show: Shooting down Space Junk with Lazers... It's going to happen.
