**Status: Neutral**
### Callisto

Callisto was first shown as part of Ganymede's group. In "The Moons of Jupiter - Part 1", she corrected Ganymede when he called Titan "Timmy" and was the first to agree that the group should look for Titan.

In the next part of the previous episode, she joined Ganymede in the uprising of the moons.

In the "The Moon Escapes", she listened to Ganymede's commands to stop the Moon from leaving. She told him that she obliterated the Moon, but questions his commands about obliterating every moon that doesn't want to join.

## Synopsis

Astrodude ends up stranded in Venus, one of the deadliest planets in our Solar System. To survive, he'll have to think outside of the box... as he's dealing with acid rain and boiling hot temperatures.

## Characters

* Astro Dude
* Venus
* Earth
* Mars
* Moon
* Mercury

## Plot

At the end of The Secret of Venus, Venus charges toward Astrodude. Astrodude ends up on Venus's surface, the ship having crash landed. The ship needs to be repaired, as Astrodude tries to contact his boss, who seems surprisingly nonchalant about the whole ordeal and warns that sending a robot to help him would be futile, as the Soviets sent Venera robots in the 1960s and they got destroyed by the planet's harsh environment. Astrodude then talks to Astrowife but while he tries to sound reassuring, Venus becomes unpopular for apparently killing Astrodude and leaves the other planets, resulting in a loss of communication for Astrodude. He thinks on his own and decides to use material from the meteorites to fix the ship. The meteorites landed a couple of miles from his current location, but fortunately the ship miraculously produces a suit upgrade allowing Astrodude to survive in the harsh environment of Venus. As Astrodude sets out to retrieve the meteorites, the Venera robots, turned hostile after decades under the harsh conditions, chase after him.

## Trivia

Sun/Relationships

This page covers **the Sun's** relationships and interactions with other characters in SolarBalls.

## The Sun's Relationships

### Mercury

Mercury is the Sun's best friend and the "Golden Planet" of the Sun in some aspects; he constantly makes puns about him. He would go as far as to hurt other planets, such as Venus, to keep his friendship with Mercury.

**Status: Best friend**
### Venus

The Sun seems to dislike Venus to a certain extent. For example, when Mercury demands Venus that they share an orbit so he wouldn't have to deal with the Sun's solar flares, the Sun makes an agreement with Mercury to aim his solar flares at Venus instead, in order to get Mercury back into his orbit. The Sun also doesn't have any patience toward Venus's short-tempered mood, such as when the Sun shouted at Venus when he questioned him about the competition between the planets.

**Status: A bit disliked**
### Earth

The Sun is neutral towards Earth for the most part. He did get angry at the Earth once when the Earth disregarded his importance of being a star in the solar system, which almost caused the Sun to leave. Other than that, the Sun does not hold any strong opinions toward the Earth. However, when Earth attempted to head into the Sun, he tried convincing the Earth otherwise.

**Status: Neutral**
### Mars

Mars and the Sun don't have any meaningful interaction. The Sun appears to be neutral towards Mars, despite Mars asking what would happen if the Sun were to disappear.

**Status: Neutral**
Neptune/Relationships

This page covers **Neptune's** relationships and interactions with other characters in SolarBalls.

**Neptune** is a weird and unpredictable ice giant that is dimwitted but has no bad intentions at heart.

## Neptune's Relationships

### Uranus

Neptune has a special liking for Uranus and considers him his best friend. He also considers the neighboring planet as his 'cousin' as they both are the only ice giants in the Solar System, along with the fact that they both are formed of the same components of matter, maintain a similar temperature, and have similar appearances as shown in Uranus = Neptune?. Neptune is also shown to be curious about what Uranus does, as shown in the beginning where he tries to peek on what Uranus was writing in his diary. He also accidentally angered Uranus by responding to Venus that Uranus stank, because of his atmosphere containing hydrogen sulfide, just after Uranus told him not to tell anyone. He also made Uranus jealous by asking him about why Saturn had rings despite them also having rings themselves in the episode Why does Saturn have rings?. Most of these incidents show how Neptune irritates Uranus because of his short-term memory loss and cluelessness despite having no intention to do so. In The Moons of Uranus, he tried to help Uranus find his moons and even told him to apologize to them, deepening the connection between the two.

**Status: Best friends**
### Pluto

According to Pluto, Pluto and Neptune first met over 4 billion years ago. Neptune first meets Pluto in, Meet Neptune where he appears in front him first unresponsive before abruptly greeting Pluto while acting like he never met the latter. Neptune offers Pluto his friendship, with Pluto being surprised due to the planets always bullying him. Neptune asks him if he wants to be bullied instead, in which he replies no and suggest that they be friends. Neptune smiles eerily and makes weird sounds as Pluto asks him to stop. After stopping, he forgets what has happened and greets Pluto like the first time again, much to the frustration of Pluto and causing him to leave.

**Status: Mild annoyance**
### Saturn

Saturn and Neptune are on good terms, as Saturn and Neptune have been seen to be friendly with each other in Why does Saturn have rings?. Saturn also seems to care for Neptune which was shown in The Adventures of Uranus and Saturn where he wants to help Uranus look for Neptune and in Why is Neptune MISSING!?, where he encourages Uranus to tell him that they do not need to follow their orbits.

**Status: Friends**

### Neptune’s Moons

Neptune treats his moons very dearly. Despite his bad memory and being gone for dozens of years, he took the time to remember each and every one of his moons’ names. The moons were also delighted when Neptune asked them to orbit him again, which shows he much care he has towards them.

**Status: Father**

Replacing the Sun for a BLACK HOLE!?

"**Replacing the Sun for a BLACK HOLE!?**" (formerly **What if we change the Sun for a BLACK HOLE!?**, also known as **What if the Sun turns into a Black Hole?** on Patreon) is the 66th episode by air date and 51st episode by chronological order of SolarBalls.

## Synopsis

Uranus and Neptune discuss what would happen if they change the Sun for a Black Hole!

## Characters

* Uranus
* Neptune
* Jupiter
* Sun
* Earth (background character)
* Moon (background character)
* Mars (background character)
* Saturn (background character)

## Plot

The episode starts with Uranus painting on a canvas until Neptune scares him and asks him what is he painting. Which he replies that he "was" painting the solar system which Neptune interrupts him and also asks why the Sun is so dark. Uranus sarcastically responds by asking Neptune about it, hoping for him to realize that he made him drop the black paint all over the drawing, but in Neptune's innocence, he instead thinks he is making a drawing of what would happen if the the Sun was replaced with a black hole. Shocked, Uranus tries to tell him what really happened but as usual, he is interrupted yet again. This time by Jupiter, who believes he is making a fan-fiction of the solar system without a sun. Uranus tries to deny it but he gets interrupted once more by Jupiter, who begins to answer Neptune's question about what would happen if the sun would get replaced with a black hole, who gets interrupted by the former blue ice giant, who awkwardly states that everyone would get sucked in and travel 20 years into the past. Jupiter however, corrects Neptune by telling him that if the black hole had the same mass as the sun, everyone would be okay. To Neptune's disappointment, he states that he thought black holes absorbed things, and then asks Uranus to see if he was correct. Uranus confirms Neptune's statement, but Jupiter says that the planets' orbits are in a safe space, so they would be fine. Neptune suddenly feels relief and states he thought something bad would happen, and then Jupiter sarcastically says that the only thing is that all the life on Earth would freeze and die. After some seconds of silence, the episode ends with Neptune awkwardly asking what's an "Earth" revealing he isn't even aware of the Earth's existence.

## Trivia

* This episode is the first mention of black holes in SolarBalls.
* This is the first episode with a resolution that doesn't use a 16:9 aspect ratio.
* It is the first episode since "The Moons of Jupiter - Part 1" to not be at least 8 minutes long.

Saturn/Relationships

## Saturn's Relationships

**Titan**

Titan is the only moon that Saturn seems to remember the name of, according to Dione. Titan was first urgently called upon by Saturn to join him and the other moons in a conference about how his rings were formed in The Moons of Saturn. After Saturn explained and tried to ask for his moons' forgiveness in said episode, all except Titan misunderstood his request as a threat. Titan then calmly replies that they all forgive him, putting Saturn at ease and in turn praises him.

**Status: Favorite**

**His other moons**

Saturn's other moons do not get along very well with him due to him not remembering and mispronouncing their names, such as calling Dione "Diane" or Mimas as "Mime".

**Status: Neutral**

**Jupiter**

Although the two don't interact much on-screen, they're shown to get along well and Jupiter is probably Saturn's closest friend, they both helped Mercury to calm down after Venus teased him and told him that he is like Pluto.

In Venus Wants a Makeover!, Jupiter is shown to care about Saturn and comfort him after Venus snaps at him.

They are also occasionally shown having conversations in the background, as seen in Could Jupiter turn into a Second Sun?

However, in the Army of the Moonsit is revealed that Saturn looking for Titan constantly has irritated Jupiter to the point where their relationship deteriorated somewhat.

**Status: Best friends**

**Uranus**

Saturn is also friends with Uranus, and asked the latter to accompany him on a search for Neptune in The Adventures of Uranus and Saturn. The journey takes them to the edge of the Kuiper Belt where he meets Eris and then Neptune himself.

**Status: Friends**
Did you know that ASTEROIDS... (Part 1)

**Did you know that ASTEROIDS... (Part 1)** is the third SolarBalls short.

## Transcript

Narrator: Did you know that in SolarBalls, there's an episode where Ceres throws Mars an asteroids the size of the MOON! In reality, well Mars will be dead. An asteroid this big will literally melt the entire planet. It would look like if it turned into a weird slimy thingy. This has happened before here on Earth but that's a topic for another video.
Tethys

**Tethys** is a minor character in SolarBalls who is one of the 7 major Saturnian moons.

## History

Tethys first appeared in "The Moons of Saturn" as one of the moons with a face. They did not say anything other than a gasp drowned by other moon, although they stared at Saturn with a surprised and scared expression. They appeared again in "The Moon meets Titan" along with the other moons when the scene moved to Saturn.

In "Army of the Moons" Tethys was surprisingly not among the other major moons in the "Group meeting" Dione holds despite the fact that all the other 7 major moons (except Titan) was present.

Tethys, unlike most other moons, had remained entirely absent from the events of the Moon Revolution. Why they've never returned in all 4 parts remains a mystery as of now.

## Personality

Not much is known as Tethys doesn't have any lines. They probably don't dislike Saturn as much as the other moons as they didn't show any expression of anger like Enceladus and didn't say that they knew who Saturn was.

## Trivia

* Tethys, along with Rhea are the only major Saturnian moons to not appear in "The Moons of Jupiter - Part 1" and subsequent episodes.
* Tethys is the only major moon to not have a complete design.
NasaDude

NasaDude is often seen with Houston, however, not much is known about NasaDude other than him being his possible assistant, shown when he was ordered to cancel Houston's meeting with his lawyer.

## Personality

Little is known about NasaDude's personality. He is quite silent, and doesn't talk much. However, he seems to care for the wellbeing of Astrodude and other members of NASA shown by his expression towards Houston.

## Trivia

* NasaDude has a somewhat thick Southern US accent.
* Him having a NASA logo at his center suggests that WorkerBoi takes place in the same universe, as WorkerBoi 365's central logo can be seen chanigng depending on the company that he works for.
	+ This is further supported by WorkerBoi and SolarBalls both being made by the creators of MrSpherical.

Could we replace our Sun?

**"Could we replace our Sun?"** is the 23rd episode by air date and the 28th by chronological order of SolarBalls.

## Synopsis

The Sun will one day turn into a Red Giant and consume us all. Maybe we could... try to replace it? Somehow? Guys...?

## Characters

* Sun
* Mars
* Earth
* Moon
* Venus
* Mercury
* Jupiter
* Proxima Centauri (mentioned)

## Plot

The episode starts with Earth staring at the Sun, before being advised against it by Mars. Earth then starts reminding him of the fact that the Sun would eventually become a red giant and swallow them, and expressing his worries on it. Nevertheless, Mars hesitates on discussing the topic, as the last time they discussed such matters, the Sun almost left them. Eventually, Earth brushes Mars off, perceiving his lack of agency as being dumb.

Earth heads off to find Jupiter and ask for his help on finding a better star to spin around, which was quickly rejected. Baffled, Earth justifies his proposition, attributing to the Sun's erratic behaviors. Despite emphasizing with Earth, Jupiter continues holding his stance, explaining that other stars would also become red dwarfs or even go supernova. Then, he goes on to elaborate on the challenges of finding a new star, such as the nearest one being 4.35 light years away and lack of momentum. Finally, he concludes his argument, comparing the likelihood of finding a new star to that of building a new Sun right there.

Unfortunately, Earth takes Jupiter's statement literally and seriously considers building a new Sun, leaving Jupiter worried about the potentially disastrous outcome.
Did you know that SOLAR FLARES... (Part 1)

**Did you know that SOLAR FLARES... (Part 1)** is the first SolarBalls short.

## Transcript

Narrator: Did you know that in SolarBalls the Sun shoots solar flares that look like devastating deadly lasers of sorts? In reality, solar flares look more like this. Yeah, they aren't always as over the top as we see them on the show. But, if a solar flare is accompanied by a coronal mass ejection, they're more like this. What would happen if one of these hits the Earth? Let's look into that next time. But in any case...
The Moon Revolution (Event)

**The Moon Revolution** is a planned conspiracy event that aims at taking down the Earth and securing better rights for the Moons to help change their place in the solar system. Though some of it's motives are questionable.

## Conception

The first concepts for an event between Moon's and planets to increase Moon's rights was first conceived by Titan; initially fascinated by the Earth and his ability to sustain life, Titan was quickly disappointed when he met The Earth, as the earth was racist towards Moons. Titan then hid in the Asteroid Belt and, captivated by Astrodude's discovery of life under his oceans, decided that it was, "time for a change." Titan's initial movement for a strike was supported by Moon and Phobos as well as Deimos. However his plans changed once Ganymede and the Jovian moons met Titan. Ganymede was disappointed by Titan's relaxed approach and favoured a more violent one. Ganymede manipulated Titan into calling off the strike and instead helping him stage a revolution to take down the earth. Titan then agreed to this and scrapped the Moon strike, becoming one of the founding members of The Moon revolution alongside the Galilean Moons. Moon eventually declined the offer to join the Revolution, forcing Ganymede to attempt to get Callisto and Io to capture him. Ultimately the founding members travelled across the Solar System to attempt to recruit moons from other planets to join their cause. In The Army of the Moons Europa and Ganymede successfully convinced all of Saturn's major moons as well as Jupiter's minor moons and presumably many smaller moons to join The Revolution, though Europa backtracked on their previous radical statements to destroy planets stating that it was "kind of impossible." but believing they could make a statement. Europa even contemplated getting a planet involved with the revolution, stating that it would give them, a "lot of credibility." More specifically, the said planets were Venus and Mars, both who had strained relationships with the earth. Because Europa has strayed from not just including Moons in the revolution, it is unknown whether or not other Moons who do NOT belong to a planet and instead a dwarf planet such as Charon will be recruited, or the dwarf planets themselves. Later, Uranus's moons followed Titan to his hideout in the asteroid belt, presumably joining the revolution.

## Progression

**Ganymede** and Europa eventually attempt to convince the planets Mars and Venus to join their cause, although both refuse, vowing to protect the Earth and the people on it despite his wrongdoings. Eventually, the two decide to engage the planet duo in the first real battle of The Moon Revolution, titled The Battle of the Planets. Ganymede and Europa's ambush initially works, as Mars and Venus are unable to dodge all the asteroids, but use their experience and size to overwhelm the moons. Ultimately, Ganymede takes advantage of the Moon's numbers to encircle the planets and barrage them with asteroids, which works out. Mars and Venus are defeated, with The Moon Revolution truly beginning.
Ganymede

**Ganymede** is a character in SolarBalls, who is one of the Galilean moons along with Io, Europa, and Callisto. He is implied to be dating Europa, and is one of the main antagonists of The Moon Revolution arc alongside Europa.

## Personality

Ganymede is bold, smug, and adventurous, which seemingly is the reason for him being the leader of the Galilean moons. His smug side is shown by his tendency to squint while smirking. He also likes teasing other characters, particularly by their names, which was shown when he calls Enceladus "Ensalada" despite Enceladus telling him not to, and Titan "Timmy". He has a dislike for planets, especially the Earth and this is proven when he stated "Who even likes planets?".

In addition, he is full of charisma, which in turn makes him manipulative as well. This is shown when he convinced Titan to use violence and take down the Earth instead of just doing a peaceful and friendly strike to resolve the issue. He can also sometimes be ignorant, which is shown when he didn't listen to his orbital parent, Jupiter, telling facts about them and when he accidentally became overly flirtatious to Dione. Despite this, he displays cockiness by insisting that they shouldn't let the Moon escape because he believes "big leaders have to make tough decisions" even after Titan reminded him that letting Moon go didn't matter; furthermore, he is also ignorant, calling Phobos and Deimos "two asteroid thingies".

Ganymede can be a powerful speaker, but often lets his own ego get in the way, as he attempts to rally the moons of Saturn in The Army of the Moons but gets sidetracked gloating about his size, until Europa shows up. After she quells the conflict and starts an inspirational speech, Ganymede is able to jump on and ultimately convince the hundreds of moons to join their cause.

In The Battle of the Planets, Ganymede and Europa try to convince Mars and Venus to join them. However, the two rocky planets refuse, leading to Ganymede and Europa ordering the army of moons to attack them with asteroids. In the end, the moons defeat Mars and Venus. However, Ganymede was remorseful for what he had done.

Ganymede is also shown to be a vengeful moon, shown in The Moon Revolution Part - 3, as he did not accept Earth's apology and still ordered the other moons to attack. Things didn't go as planned for Ganymede and Europa in The Moon Revolution - Part 4, as the other moons eventually decide to return to their orbits instead of destroying life on the Earth. However, in the end, Ganymede makes a malicious smile, as if he is planning something more sinister.

## Trivia

* Ganymede, in real life, is actually grayish in color, whereas in the series, he is yellow and gold.
* Ganymede makes a brief cameo in "Is the Moon REALLY Leaving Us?" along with the other Jovian moons.
Mars

* Normal
* Marstopher

**Mars** is one of the main protagonists in SolarBalls and is the 4th planet from the Sun.

## Personality

Mars is generally outgoing and friendly and is shown to encourage and inform other celestial bodies. When he meets Titan, for instance, he lists off his geological features and admires him for his interesting physique, and he also encourages Mercury to stand up for himself when Venus bullies him. Despite his friendly demeanor, he can be quite ignorant and jumps to conclusions at times, not realizing why Earth could be acting the way he is even though they were best friends for some time. Mars is also more perceptive than his fellow rocky planets, as he is the only one who knows about the gas giants’ moons, Ganymede, Titan, and Europa.

Although Mars acts amicable most of the time, he sometimes mocks others, such as laughing along with Venus and Earth when they mocked Mercury's size. Mars can also be a little nosy, such as when he, Mercury, and the Moon demanded Astrodude the meaning of Venus's name.

In The Battle of the Planets, he is shown to be still protective of the Earth, even when they are no longer friends. When Ganymede and Europa attempted to convince him and Venus to join the Moon Revolution, they immediately refused upon hearing their objective, leading to the Galilean moons threatening them to join. A scuffle ensues between the planets and the moons. Despite their efforts, he and Venus were soon overwhelmed by the barrage of asteroids hurled at them by the outnumbering moons. Fortunately, Mars and Venus survived and are now recovering from the attack, shown in The Moon Revolution Part 3.

## Trivia

* In SolarBalls, most of the time Earth, Venus, and Mars are drawn to the same size, when in reality, Earth and Venus are much larger than Mars. Mars is only half the size of Earth.
	+ It should be noted that the scaling is not always meant to be accurate.
* Mars speaks with a New York accent.
* Mars is the first and only planet with differently-sized eyes.
* Mars is the third celestial object Astrodude has landed on after Earth and Venus.
* Mars has the most moons in the terrestrial planets.

As of late, there have been numerous prolific leaks of patreon-exlusive content by several channels, being prevalent problems in this  community.

The number of leaks drastically increased following the 4-part series of **The Moon Revolution** being uploaded, which forced action by Solarballs, who had explicitly stated that all leaks will be striked down. Due to this, **The Moon Revolution Part 4** was postponed, and a warning against leaking being put in the description of the Patreon video.

Solarballs has stated they are a small team, and leaks like these delay future videos and only cause trouble. They released a post clarifying a few misconceptions about their patreon supporters, namely: the videos are not delayed for Patreons, the youtube and patreon videos are different; the patreon videos are not as polished as the main video; their patreons are vital to producing high-quality videos and that some patreon-exclusive videos will be released after **The Moon Revolution** saga is complete.

Several youtubers such as **UranusIsHere7** and **EileenDrawings** had called out the leakers in previous videos, following the leaks.

Jupiter/Relationships

These are the relationships of the character **Jupiter** in SolarBalls.

## Jupiter's Relationships

### Sun

Jupiter sympathizes with the other planets' fear and annoyance of the Sun. Although, he doesn't seem to show any deep hatred towards the Sun, he can sometimes get confused over what the Sun says or how he behaves.

**Status: Neutral**
### Mercury

Jupiter is generally encouraging towards Mercury. For example, when Mercury worried about not being a planet in Is Is Mercury NOT a Planet?, he reassures him that he is based on scientific facts. He also hushes Saturn after Saturn tries to tell Mercury that he's shrinking, showing that he is aware of Mercury's fear of not being a planet.

**Status: Good**
### Earth

Jupiter acts as Earth's wiser, older brother. Jupiter cares for Earth and wants him to be safe, as he always prevents Earth from doing stupid things like when Earth suggested that all the planets should leave their own Solar System to orbit a new star, Jupiter stops him and says that they'd all freeze on the trip as it's a very long journey and they wouldn't get enough momentum to leave.

The Dark Side of the Moon

**The Dark Side of the Moon** is the 19th episode by air date and 10th by chronological order of SolarBalls.

## Synopsis

We've only met ONE side of the Moon so far... but there's another side to him, a mysterious side that the earthlings have never met. Some call it... the Dark Side of the Moon!

## Characters

* Moon
* Dark Side of The Moon
* Venus (minor appearance)
* Jupiter (minor appearance)
* Earth (background character)
* Mars (background character)
* Sun (background character)

## Plot

At the start of the episode, Moon is seen staring at the Earth. Without warning, the Dark Side of the Moon suggests that they crash against Earth, prompting Moon to shush him and tells him to go away. The Dark Side of the Moon replies that it is impossible because of his very nature. Nonetheless, Moon finds the concept of a "Dark Side" too absurd to be true, to which the Dark Side of the Moon asserts it is, as they are tidally locked to the Earth.

The Moon points out the error in Dark Side's statement, explaining that they'd only have a dark side if they are tidally locked to the Sun. However, since they are tidally locked to the Earth, the Moon technically does not have a dark side.

Hearing this, the Dark Side of the Moon begins questioning their identity, so Moon clarifies that he is the side that is permanently facing away from the Earth. This cheers Dark Side up, who believes that in a way, he is indeed the Dark Side of the Moon after all.

Mercury/Relationships

This page covers **Mercury's** relationships and interactions with other characters in SolarBalls.

## Mercury's Relationships

### Sun

Mercury is intimidated by Sun's presence, especially when the Sun's being angry or insane. As seen in "My Best Friend, the Sun!", Mercury goes along with Sun's puns and tries not to hurt his feelings. Despite that, Mercury will stand up for himself when the Sun crosses the line, like aiming solar flares at him. .

**Status: Friends**
### Venus

Venus usually bullies Mercury and makes fun of him because of his size, as he is the smallest planet in the Solar System. Mercury (in "Why is Venus missing?") exclaims about how majorly hates Venus and expresses his feelings about Venus. Mercury clearly feels very intimidated about Venus's presence as shown in "Why is Venus missing?". However, he seems to have overcome this and has been shown to stand up for himself like in "My Best Friend, the Earth!", where he tries to stop Earth from befriending Venus as they will "reinforce each other's bad traits".

**Status: Bullying victim**
### Earth

Earth and Mercury had mixed interactions. While Earth is shown to be kind to Mercury at times, such as reassuring Mercury that he is fine (in "Will Mercury explode?"), he joked about him being the "next Pluto" in the end and encouraging him to stand up to Venus (in "Why is Venus missing?), he has also bullied Mercury for his size a few times. However, he was the first rocky planet to forgive Earth for his actions (seen in "The Earth Alone - Part 2" and "The Earth is heading to the SUN!?"). He also helped Earth on working to become a better planet in "The Earth's Redemption". This made them come onto more friendly terms.

**Status: Friend**
Surviving Venus (Part 2)

**"Surviving Venus (Part 2)"** is the 42nd episode by air date and the 22nd by chronological order of SolarBalls.

## Synopsis

After being left stranded on Venus, Astrodude must find a way to escape this terrible planet before the heat or, well, the Venera robots claim his life!

## Characters

* Venus
* Earth
* Venera Robots
* Computer
* Moon
* Astrodude
* Sun

## Plot

Mars notices that Astrodude is still alive, but chased by robots, and he and Earth agree to try to save him. Being planets, however, they struggle to find a way to help a hapless Earthling stranded on Venus. The planets come up with a plan to rescue Astrodude with approval from Jupiter, which is to bombard Venus with asteroids to kill the robots. Venus, very vastly vexed, vehemently vetoes that suggestion, claiming that the other planets are just trying to get back at him. Earth and Mars persuade Venus by suggesting that if they don't bombard him with asteroids as retribution, they will never be friends again, and Venus reneges.

Astrodude runs into a cave that will lead him to the crash site of the meteorite, only then he notices himself cornered between the Venera robots and a column of lava. The robots demand him in Russian to join them. Astrodude escapes by going up the lava chute despite the robotic assistant on the suit suggesting against it. As he makes his way to the meteorite, asteroids start raining down, thrown by Earth and Mars. Astrodude narrowly dodges the asteroids, while most of the robots get destroyed. Astrodude was on the brink of reaching the meteorite until an asteroid destroys the meteorites by accident. Astrodude is cornered by the robots, but before they can land a decisive blow, more asteroids destroy them. With the meteorites gone, Astrodude laments that he should just go back to the ship, to send a goodbye message to his wife and kids, to which the robotic assistant suggests that he can use the remains of the Venera robots instead.

Astrodude fixes the ship and escapes back into space, traumatized by the event. Venus asks whether they are on even terms now that Astrodude has escaped, but the other planets continue to call him the Goddess of Beauty, much to his annoyance. Astrodude's boss hears the news that Astrodude has escaped and grudgingly gives his congratulations.

Meanwhile, Venus and Mars wonder why the Sun isn’t getting mad at Venus for leaving his orbit. Venus then asks Mars to play cards with him, Mars is skeptical since he doesn’t want a repeat of Earth's "friendship" tactics, but ultimately agrees. In the middle of their game, Venus asks Mars about Earth, and both talk bad about him while the moons watch in silence.

Ganymede and Europa confront the two rocky planets, and are surprised to learn that Mars knows about them and ask if they’re dating; the two moons then laugh it off. Venus and Mars then start discussing wether they wan't to join their game, but their conversation is cut short by the two Galilean Moons, and explain that they hate Earth, and are planning on ambushing him with asteroids. Venus and Mars, despite their previous conflicts with Earth, immediately oppose their intents, and Ganymede and Europa proceed to Plan B, where the rest of the moons reveal themselves and are preparing to attack the two rocky planets. Ganymede gives them one last chance to join them, and both planets refuse, aiming to protect earth at all costs.

The moons then pelt Venus and Mars with asteroids, with the planets dodging and ocassionally getting hit by them. The two planets team up and use their tactics from Asteroid Dodgeball to counterattack against the moons, and initially gain the upper hand. Unfortunately, due to the larger amount of moons present, Venus and Mars are ambushed by a surrounding group of moons, and are seriously injured. Ganymede orders them to surrender, but they refuse to give up. Seeing their determination to protect Earth and it's inhabitants, Ganymede reluctantly orders the moons to finish them off, with the moons having guilty expressions while doing so. Finally, Ganymede narrates that this’ll be the beginning of The Moon Revolution.
