The Space Mission Adventure

Ziggy and friends are excited to be going to Space Camp! They get to learn about weightlessness, how astronauts eat and even how they use the bathroom in space!

At camp, Ziggy learns that real-life space travel is just as exciting--if not more so--than what he has imagined. But when a mysterious shiny stone appears, Ziggy wonders if his goal of an alien meet up has just come true...
