Noah finds a working space shuttle in his backyard. It's just big enough to fit him and his trusty side kick, Leo the gray golden-doodle. They climb in and the door closes. Leo accidentally steps on a big red button which turns the spacecraft on. They both look at each other in surprise. The spacecraft fizzles and pops and blasts off into space. Noah and Leo see earth, the moon, the stars and the sun from space. Noah and Leo start to miss their parents, so they pull the decent lever and the spaceship safely lands in the backyard. Noah and Leo climb out and hug each other, grateful  to be back home.
