Everyone was super excited because they were going to talk to a real astronaut from space! Her name was Astronaut Luna Diaz, and she was a hero to many. When she appeared on the screen, everyone cheered!
“Hello, everyone! It’s so nice to see all your bright faces,” said Astronaut Diaz.
Someone asked, “Are you lonely up there?”
“A little bit,” she replied, “but seeing all of you makes me happy!”
Astronaut Diaz was doing something amazing in space. She was trying to grow plants! She showed everyone her space garden, and they were all excited.
“If we can grow food in space, maybe one day people can live there too, not just astronauts,” she explained.
Everyone wanted to know what the space plants tasted like. “Juicy and delicious!” she said with a smile.
Suddenly, Astronaut Diaz’s space shuttle hit a meteor shower! She stayed calm because astronauts are trained for sticky situations. But then she realized her fuel tank was missing!
“That’s not good,” someone said. “If she can’t get it back, she might be stuck in space!”
Starbeam, the superhero girl, decided to help. She had super strength but needed a plan to fix the fuel tank. With the help of her friend Kipper and Gramps, they were ready to save Astronaut Diaz.
Starbeam said, “Time to shine!” and flew off to help.
While Kipper looked for the missing fuel tank, Starbeam used her super strength to stop the space shuttle from crashing into the moon. It was a close call, but she did it!
Everyone cheered when Kipper found the fuel tank. Now it was time to fix it!
With instructions from Gramps, Starbeam secured three latches on the fuel tank in the right order: blue, yellow, and purple. Then she turned the green knob to let the fuel flow back into the shuttle.
But oh no! The fuel was leaking, and there wasn’t enough to get back to Earth!
Starbeam had to use her super strength to push the shuttle back to Earth safely. She remembered to stay calm, make a plan, and try her best.
With a big effort, she pushed the shuttle, and it landed softly back on Earth. Everyone cheered!
Astronaut Diaz was safe and sound. She thanked Starbeam and even gave her some space fruit as a reward.
“You’re my hero!” said Astronaut Diaz.
“I’m your hero? You’re my hero!” replied Starbeam.
Everyone was happy and celebrated the successful rescue. It was a day to remember!

Space Garden Experiment: Just like Astronaut Luna Diaz, you can try growing your own “space garden” at home! Plant some seeds in a small pot and place it in a sunny spot. Water it regularly and observe how it grows. Keep a journal to draw or write about the changes you see each day. Discuss with your family how plants might grow differently in space compared to Earth.
Design Your Own Space Shuttle: Use recycled materials like cardboard boxes, plastic bottles, and paper tubes to build a model of a space shuttle. Think about what features your shuttle needs to have to travel safely in space. Share your creation with your classmates or family and explain how it would help astronauts like Luna Diaz on their missions.
Superhero Problem-Solving: Imagine you are a superhero like Starbeam. Think of a problem you might face in space, such as fixing a broken satellite or helping a lost astronaut. Draw a picture of yourself solving the problem and write a short story about how you used your superhero skills to save the day. Share your story with a friend or family member and discuss what skills are important for solving problems.

[Excited chatter]
Okay, everybody, settle down. Today is an exciting day for all of us because we get to talk to a Somerset hero from space! Let’s welcome Astronaut Luna Diaz.
[All cheer]
Astronaut Diaz is my biggest hero.
Hello, everybody! It’s so nice to see so many bright faces.
Hi, Astronaut Diaz! Are you lonely up there?
A little bit. That’s why I’m happy to see all of you.
What have you been doing there?
I wanted to see if plants could grow in space. Want to see if I succeeded?
– Definitely!
– Yes!
Here it is—my space garden!
[All chatter excitedly]
If we can grow food in space, anyone will be able to live in space someday, not just astronauts.
What does it taste like?
Juicy and delicious!
Oh!
Oh, goodness! Feels like my space shuttle’s run into a meteor shower!
Does that happen a lot?
Meteor showers are part of space life. Don’t worry, everyone! I’m okay. Astronauts are trained to stay calm during sticky situations.
But that is not okay. Looks like I’ve lost my fuel tank.
That’s not good. If she can’t get it back, she could be stranded in space.
We can’t let that happen!
– Oh, no!
– [All scream]
We have to save Astronaut Diaz!
– Oh, no!
– [All scream]
I can use my super strength to stop the space shuttle from hitting the moon, but my superpowers can’t fix a broken fuel tank.
Don’t worry. I’m sure Gramps has the space shuttle manual back in Beam Control.
Right, okay. Upload it to your tablet, then walk me through the steps to fix it. But we better move fast. We don’t have much time.
Wanna help find the fuel tank and rescue Astronaut Diaz, Kipper?
– Time to shine!
♪ It’s time to shine ♪
♪ Starbeam ♪
One more thing. Now Kipper and I can breathe in space! Ready? Let’s do this!
To Beam Control! To the moon! I’m coming to save you, Astronaut Diaz!
[Grunts] Woah!
Hi, Gramps!
My stars! You’re spinning like a cyclone!
Hang in there, Starbeam. The space shuttle manual is still downloading.
Hurry! Kipper, you go look for the fuel tank. I’ve gotta face this ship head-on with my super strength!
Starbeam, that ship is going to hit the moon in 500 meters. You better step on it!
400 meters!
300 meters!
200!
100!
Whoo-hoo! It seems I’ve been rescued!
[All cheer in excitement]
Good job! Boost, patch me into the shuttle’s communication system.
Okay, say hello to your hero.
Hi, Astronaut Diaz! I’m here to save you.
Oh, thanks, Starbeam! It’s great to see you.
Kipper found the fuel tank!
Thanks, Kipper.
Got it! Download complete.
Good job, Boost. Okay, Starbeam. There are three latches that need to be secured into the metal bar—a blue one, a yellow one, and a purple one.
Found them. They must be secured in this order—blue first, yellow second, purple last.
Blue, yellow, purple—got it. Last, turn the green knob to the left. That lets the fuel flow back into the space shuttle.
Oh, no. Boost, the fuel is leaking out of the tank. It’s almost empty!
That’s the fuel I need to get back to Earth.
Starbeam! There’s not enough fuel for Astronaut Diaz to make it back home! You’ll have to use your super strength to push the space shuttle back to Earth. It’s very important that the shuttle has a soft, safe landing.
I know this is a big task, Starbeam, but remember—if you start to feel like you’re in over your head…
Take a moment, take a breath, make a plan, and try your best.
[A soft, safe landing…]
I know how to stop this spaceship and save Astronaut Diaz!
Atta girl! See if you can help Astronaut Diaz inside.
Well, hello little fella! You must be Starbeam’s friend.
Hang on, guys! Bubble beam, big blast! Better buckle up. I’m taking you home!
Roger that, Starbeam. Boost, we’re on our way.
I’ll head back to school before anyone finds out we’re gone. See you back at Earth, kiddo!
Ready to go home?
We’re ready! Prepare for landing!
[All] Whoa!
[All cheer]
Welcome back to Somerset, Astronaut Diaz. We’re so glad you’re back safe and sound.
Thanks. Me too.
You saved the day, Starbeam, and my space garden too! Here, some space fruit just for you.
Wow… thanks!
It’s the least I can do. You’re my hero!
I’m your hero? You’re my hero!
[All cheer]
Zoey! You missed Starbeam saving Astronaut Diaz! She was super amazing.
Oh, man. I miss all the good stuff.
Thanks, Henry. I couldn’t have done it without you.
Kipper!
Hey, Gramps, Astronaut Diaz told me today that I was her hero. Can you believe that?
I’m her hero!
Of course, I can.
Goodnight, Zo.
Goodnight, Gramps.
Goodnight, Astronaut Diaz.
