This is made worse when Linus threatens to reveal that the crew is ready to mutiny because of his sister's attitude. However, when the news camera switches over to the station he is shocked to find that the crew are not ready and Lucy is angrily ordering all 'blockheads' on the station to prepare for the broadcast.
Thirty days into the mission, Jason Welker prepares to interview the crew for the first time. She simply responds, "NASA couldn't resist a pretty face." Franklin's first question is how in the world Lucy was chosen to be Station Commander, given her overbearing attitude. Several other neighborhood kids have also been named to the crew as specialists: Peppermint Patty is running the crew's exercise programs, Charlie Brown has been put in charge of cooking and photography, Sally is an assistant to Linus, Pigpen will be conducting experiments involving EVAs (spacewalks) outside the station, and Franklin is a social scientist collecting data on how the crew functions together over the ninety-day mission. Lucy, much to everyone's surprise, has been selected as the station commander, Snoopy as the operator (pilot) and Linus as the station's chief scientist. A newscaster, Jason Welker, informs the audience that the shuttle has delivered the first Space Station crew and that their identities have been kept secret until the broadcast. Linus begins to dream of a Shuttle launching from Cape Canaveral and docking with the station.
These eight astronauts would remain on the station for ninety days, after which a new crew would arrive to relieve them. Linus then goes to bed and falls asleep remembering what he had read about the mission plan for the space station: The station would be launched in the mid-1990's with a crew of eight. While Linus' is going well, Charlie Brown is having trouble, and claims that even Snoopy seems to be doing better than he is, although Snoopy won't let Charlie Brown see what he's building. Space Station (which would later become the International Space Station) they are building for a school contest. Charlie Brown and Linus are talking over the phone about the models of the U.S.
