Barney In Outer Space

Barney in Outer Space is a Barney Home Video that was released on March 17, 1998.
==Plot==
Keesha, Robert, Chip, and Kim just joined the astronomy club at school, run by the science teacher, Miss Kepler. The children are eager to see the planets through the telescope, and Miss Kepler sleepily tells them they would see Mars in twenty minutes. Miss Kepler then takes a nap in her chair. Keesha looks through the telescope and finds Barney. The other children run to greet their purple friend. Then, Barney and the children look at the stars. Afterwards, they look through the telescope to find an unusual planet. On that planet, there is a little girl, and she is waving at them! The children wish they could meet the little girl, so Barney transforms Robert's toy rocket into a very big one. Space suits magically appear on the children. Then, Barney and the children go inside the rocket, countdown to blastoff, then fly off to the unusual planet they saw. While they are flying through space, Barney explains there is no air in space, no day or night, and that there is no gravity. Then, astronaut Kenneth S. Reightler, Jr. pays a visit to talk about NASA. Afterwards, the children see if they can find astronauts on the moon, and they see Baby Bop, with her blankey as the flag. Barney tells Chip to bring her in, and then Baby Bop joins the journey. After a while, BJ joins the journey, and soon they arrive at the planet they saw through the telescope. Then, they meet the girl, whose name is Meebeedeep. Meebeedeep shows the kids around her planet, shows them her toy robot, and Baby Bop teaches her "The Itsy-Bitsy Spider". Then the kids discover a plant called the tickle tree, which tickles you every time you go near it. After a while, Barney and the children have to leave, but they promise they will come back and visit. Then Barney and the kids fly back to earth to go home, and sing "I Love You". The children wake up Miss Kepler from her nap and then they talk about how fun their trip to space was, so she persuades the kids to look into the telescope. As the video ends with Chip looking into the telescope again, he sees Barney transform back into a doll.

==Trivia==
*This video marked:
**The first appearance of Miss Kepler. However, Barney would not be seen interacting with her until Barney's Halloween Party and Let's Go to the Zoo which were Miss Kepler's only other appearances.
**Another time where no one says "goodbye" at the end of the video, but Barney changes back into a doll. Instead, the kids wake up Miss Kepler and talk about their space adventure with her and she formally begins the astronomy club activities. 
**The final home video to use the 1st version of the Lyrick Studios logo from 1997.
**David Joyner's return to the Barney costume role after filming for "Barney's Great Adventure" wrapped.
**The only time Miss Kepler appeared with Kim, Chip, and Robert.
*The voice of Neil Armstrong can be heard (along with clips from the Man on the Moon 1969 coverage) during the "View Screen" segment.
*Pia Manalo (who played Min) takes over the role of Meebeedeep's Robot.
*Although Lyrick Studios intended to re-release this on DVD, it was never released on DVD in North America. The video was, however, released internationally on DVD. The cancelled release was intended to include the following features:
**Barney In Outer Space Sing Along (7 songs from the video with lyrics)
**Barney In Outer Space Read Along (The entire 24 page book presented electronically including dinosaur voices)
**"I Love to Sing with Barney" Song Sampler (8 songs from the album)
**Barney In Outer Space DVD-ROM Games
*The trailer for this video appeared on two Groundling Marsh videos from Lyrick Studios (Treasures are for Sharing and Courageous Adventures), and also appeared on two Franklin videos from Polygram (Franklin Plays the Game and Franklin and the Secret Club). This is one of the few instances of a Barney trailer appearing on a non-Lyrick Studios or HIT Entertainment video.
===Goofs===
*On the screener, some visual and audio elements were a work in progress (especially the credits which had no music and was presented on a black background without scenes from the video as well as containing a different intro for the theme song). In that same version, Fred Holmes' name was misspelled as "Fred Holms" and it also had a 1997 copyright date which indicates it was produced that year. In the final version, it had a 1998 copyright date.
**In the Spanish dub the intro has the vocals from the shortened intro looped for some unknown reason.
*During "The Sun", you can see Robert putting his hand outside the rocket's window while the window is closed, even though Rockets cannot open windows.
