Dialogue[edit]

Pt. 1[edit]

After completing Mars Won Pt. 3
Quimby - Smug With our new space program, think of all the hot alien women we can grope inappropriately.
Quimby - Embarrassed Er, I mean all the fascinating scientific discoveries we can grope inappropriately.
Lisa - Confused While the universe is very large, Mayor Quimby, we have yet to discover alien life.
Ned There's the Sky Finger. Our intelli-didily-gent designer.
Professor Frink - Sad Mayor Quimby, out of respect to science, can we please stop holding meetings with random people in the room?
Quimby Sorry but I welcome all constituents who want to observe our government's dignity and professionalism in action. Now let's cut some space checks!
Task: "Make Quimby Work Out Payments". The job takes place at the Rocket Launch Pad (farm), Rocket Launch Pad (built), Shuttle Hangar, Space Training Center, or Town Hall and takes 3 hours.
Task: "Earn NARA Certification Stars" (x2).
Lisa - Surprised At the very least, this space program might help kids see that learning is fun!
Professor Frink I hope so. Then again, I said the same about my Henry David Tho-robot.
Lisa - Curious Didn't that robot go crazy and try to stab someone?
Professor Frink - Angry No! It was PROGRAMMED to go crazy and try to stab someone. Big difference.

Space Training Center

Pt. 2[edit]

After tapping on Quimby's exclamation mark
Quimby This space program needs an astronaut! Someone both capable of earning NARA certification stars and relatable to the common man.
Homer Look. I know you're hinting at me coming out of astronaut retirement but I gave all that up when I learned I could get astronaut ice cream on Earth.
Lisa - Curious You were an astronaut?
Homer - Confused You don't remember? I trained, went into space, survived an emergency landing? I also held up the Inanimate Carbon Rod at the parade.
Quimby - Happy You were the Inanimate Carbon Rod holder? Why didn't you say so?
Homer - Serious No one remembers? That does it -- I'm entering the NARA certification program.
Professor Frink Great! All you need to do is sign your name.
Homer - Serious Too much work. I quit.
Task: "Make Homer Train as an Astronaut". The job takes place at the Space Training Center and takes 3 hours.

Deep Space Homer

Pt. 3[edit]

After tapping on Deep Space Homer's exclamation mark
Deep Space Homer - Sad How come we have to do all this work to get launched into space when rocks get catapulted right away.
Herman Psst. Homer. I think I might have an easier way to earn your NARA stars.
Deep Space Homer If it's steroids, I'm not interested. My testicles are finally at a size I like.
Herman There's another way. Why earn stars when you can make stars?
Deep Space Homer So... you're a wizard?
Herman Give me money and I'll give you fake NARA stars. I don't know how to break it down more than that.
Message Collect counterfeit stars at the Space Training Center every 3 hours.
Task: "Tap the Space Training Center".
Task: "Earn NARA Certification Stars" (x30).
Marge - Sad Homer, I'm worried that all this training to become an astronaut is too much for you.
Marge Plus you seem to be going through our aluminum foil budget a lot quicker than I planned for.
Deep Space Homer Don't worry Marge, we're almost finished! All we need is to somehow get our hands on a space shuttle.
Marge - Surprised There isn't even a space shuttle?
Deep Space Homer Mayor Quimby bought a hangar without realizing the shuttle inside is just a fake demo shuttle. First rule of space: always read the fine print. Second rule of space: don't try to breathe.
Quest reward: Cash.png100 and XP.png10
Shuttle Hangar

Pt. 4[edit]

After tapping on Quimby's exclamation mark
Professor Frink I could build us a state of the art space shuttle in no time. At least next to no time if you rushed it with few donuts.
Quimby Great! How much is that gonna cost -- two yoga mats and a sprig of mistletoe?
Professor Frink 50 billion dollars. But it's worth every penny... right down to its novelty smashed penny machine.
Quimby - Annoyed How about instead I buy this vintage USSR shuttle from 1963?
Quimby It doesn't have NARA certification, but it does have Kremlin's Seal of Not Having Killed Too Many Dogs.
Quimby - Smug I just need to take out a totally legit business loan.
Fat Tony Aw yes! I am here from a legitimate business to provide a legitimate business loan.
Fat Tony Just don't get behind on payments or I'll legitimately break your legs. Capisce?

Pt. 5[edit]

After tapping on Lisa's exclamation mark
Lisa - Shocked Dad, I thought Mom talked you out of this! Do you know how dangerous it is to fly a spaceship?
Deep Space Homer Of course I do, honey. Daddy was an astronaut, remember?
Lisa - Nagging No one in the town does, remember?
Lisa - Nagging But if you're going to do this, at least let me teach you the basic science skills you need to survive.
Deep Space Homer - Annoyed I keep hearing that from coworkers at the nuclear plant. I don't need to come home and hear it from my family, too!
Deep Space Homer I suppose I could practice collecting ant samples like I will on Mars. Although I hear ants on Mars are ten feet tall and wear top hats.
Lisa Alright, lesson one: learning to tell the difference between science and fever dreams.
Task: "Make Homer Gather Insect Specimens". The job takes 8 hours.
Task: "Earn NARA Certification Stars" (x50).
Deep Space Homer Woohoo! I always knew I had it in me.
Professor Frink If by "it" you mean disturbingly soft bones and a heart composed of 40% soft cheeses, then yes.
Professor Frink - Sad I can't help but feel I'll be to blame if things go horribly-
Deep Space Homer - Sad Right? You were going to say if things go horribly right?
Professor Frink Just remember, when you die -- I mean if -- no I definitely mean when -- you'll die a hero!

Pt. 6[edit]

After tapping on Homer's exclamation mark
Deep Space Homer Weather clear, potato chips opened, bladder empty, neck pillow fluffed, talking aloud commenced.
Deep Space Homer Oops, almost forgot – tray table up!
Deep Space Homer - Sad Now to just hit the launch button... Where's the launch button?
Professor Frink Hold up just a moment there! A shuttle lacks the necessary propulsion to take it into orbit without rockets!
Professor Frink Plus it should be on the launch pad.
Deep Space Homer - Annoyed Don't use your high brow science speak to confuse me Frink! I know what I'm doing... at least as far as space-toilets go.
Marge Don't worry about what he says Homer, we'll help you put it all together. How hard can it be?
Lisa - Annoyed It's not like it's rocket science or anything.

Task: "Earn NARA Certification Stars" (x100).
Lisa Voila! I formulated the rocket fuel in the basement with a D.I.Y. video on Viewtube!
Lisa Plus learned some interesting life hacks and read some very hateful comments.
Professor Frink Lisa, I could not do this without your brilliant mind, nor your mother's equally brilliant rice crispy treats.
Deep Space Homer Hey! I deserve some of the credit. I'm the one who snuck in the plutonium for an extra big bang.
Professor Frink By Glaven's ghost! Plutonium? That could destroy us all! Although I suppose it all won't matter soon...
Lisa What do you mean?
Professor Frink Oh, it's still research in progress. But I'll share my findings with you at the Springfield Observatory's slam poetry event and intellectual salon.
Message Gather Lisa and other intellectual elite at the Springfield Observatory for more information on the hypothetical end of times and to hear some slam poetry.

Pt. 7[edit]

After tapping on Quimby's exclamation mark
Quimby - Happy Good news, Homer! The Inanimate Carbon Rod re-entered the atmosphere and has been recovered!
Quimby So you're off the hook. The rod can take over the mission and you can go back to being... what were you before? A bum?
Deep Space Homer - Annoyed Mark my words. No rod – inanimate carbon, Serling or Stewart – will steal my thunder. I trained for this mission, and I will carry it out!
Deep Space Homer - Sad Now is the rocket ship automatic or stick? Because I can't drive a stick.
Professor Frink - Sad I'm starting to regret not paying more attention during the training process.
Task: "Make Homer Launch the Space Ship". The job takes place at the Rocket Launch Pad (built) or Rocket Launch Pad (farm) and takes 6 seconds.
Quest reward: Cash.png100 and XP.png10

Pt. 8[edit]

After completing Pt. 7
Deep Space Homer - Sad Sorry, I didn't realize the parking brake was still on. And that Houston was not our destination.
Professor Frink - Angry Homer, you might be the worst astronaut in world history.
Deep Space Homer - Sad Even worse than the chimpanzees?
Professor Frink - Angry Even worse than that Collins guy!
Astronaut Barney - Annoyed The least you could do is put out the fires you caused! Some of us sober astronauts are serious about getting into space!
Deep Space Homer - Annoyed Fine. I'll put out the literal fires but I refuse to try to fix any of the emotional ones.
Task: "Make Homer Put Out Rocket Fuel Fires". The job takes place at the Rocket Launch Pad (built) or Rocket Launch Pad (farm) and takes 2 hours.
Quimby Homer, you really saved the day!
Professor Frink - Angry Saved the day? He crushed our dreams, ruined our space program, and called me a nerd on several occasions!
Quimby But Homer's incompetence gave the Inanimate Carbon Rod the opportunity to pry open the water valve and douse those fires.
Professor Frink That rod deserves another ticker tape parade! And I deserve another bribe from the ticker tape lobby.
