Synopsis
Made for kids and adults alike, this is a tale of a hapless space explorer, Egon, whose valiant efforts are constantly undermined by his cat, Donci. When a bizarre spacecraft crashes on their tiny planet, delivering a message from a distant planet called "Earth," their lives change forever. With new purpose and great effort, Egon works to finish construction of their own spaceship. After a few setbacks, following the crash-landed spacecraft's instructions, they set out towards our solar system and Earth. This boy-cat pair treats the audience to a fun way of learning about space, our own solar system, planets, and unusual things that happen when you travel  across the universe.
