We didn’t know it, but in 1984, He-Man and his friends helped NASA destroy a giant asteroid before it crashed into the Earth!
Only stalwart astronauts with names like Mark Blaze and Andrea Steel could undertake such a dangerous, daring mission, and it would have been a cinch for them, except they got sucked through a psychedelic wormhole and crash-landed on Eternia. What’s worse: Teela was about to say something poignant and wistful but they cut her off!
With no time to waste, the Palace Friends organize to help Andrea and Mark reclaim Earth’s payload from Skeletor and find the giant asteroid before it’s too late. He-Man isn’t worried about handling said missile, and Andrea reminds the rest of Eternia how to take initiative. We enjoy appearances from Spikor and Two-Bad this episode!
Plus, we put on a fashion and talk about judo.
But here I am wasting time while the asteroid approaches. Join us, won’t you, as we track the progress of our brave astronauts and their friends. Will Earth be saved? Will He-Man visit Earth before heading back? Listen in and find out!
