"Astronaut Noodle zipped and zoomed all over the galaxy in his space ship, the Macaroni Mariner. His mission was to take pictures of everything he saw with his Super-Swooper Space Camera. Then he would send his pictures to Space Control. One day he visited the planet Velocity..."
Join Astronaut Noodle as he attempts to photograph the pesky, super-fast citizens of Planet Velocity.
