The story is mostly or totally terrestrially grounded; though there may be space travel, it's not a setting where going into space is a regular or easy task and likely none of the main characters has gone into space -- until now. Maybe just one of them will go up as a means of [[PutOnABus putting them on a bus]] or maybe the whole cast goes up for an episode, but it happen only once or twice for the entire run of the story.

'''Shaggy:''' (''shrugs'') Like, it was bound to happen eventually.

* Despite by a show starring aliens as most of the leads, ''WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitchTheSeries'' only had one episode actually set in space.

* ''Series/NewsRadio'' did a "what if" episode that took place in space.
* Played with on the episode of ''Series/{{Community}}'' "[[Recap/CommunityS2E04BasicRocketScience Basic Rocket Science]]": the study group is not going ''to'' space, but they are trapped inside of a space simulator that has been towed away and the only way it will let them get out is if they complete the simulated mission, which leads to almost every other possible "space mission gone wrong" trope (including SpaceMadness) being played straight.

* In Chapter 7 of ''VideoGame/PaperMarioTheThousandYearDoor'', Mario heads to the Moon, as the X-Nauts' base is there.
** Mario would travel into space again in ''VideoGame/SuperPaperMario'': Chapter 4's door leads into open space, and the bulk of the chapter consists of Mario attempting to find solid ground.

* ''VideoGame/WolfensteinTheNewOrder'' sends BJ on a one-level jaunt to go fight Nazis on the Moon. [[LampshadeHanging Even he finds this a bit surreal.]] [[VideoGame/WolfensteinIITheNewColossus The sequel]], as part of its commitment to SequelEscalation, sent him to fight Nazis on ''Venus''.

* In ''Webcomic/KevinAndKell'' there was an early arc where Lindesfarne (and Rudy who stowed away) go to the ISS.

And those are just the ones primarily set in space - plenty of episodes see the kids go back and forth.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' episode "Deep Space Homer" has Homer and Barney both selected for astronaut training. Homer is ultimately sent into space (and makes the mission fail, of course).

* The ''WesternAnimation/{{Kaeloo}}'' episode "Let's Play Astronauts" had the main four go to outer space to find a star so Stumpy could name it after his girlfriend to celebrate their two-week anniversary. [[spoiler: The events of the episode turn out to be AllJustADream.]]
* In the ''WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog'' episode, "[[Recap/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehogS01E33SpacemanSonic Spaceman Sonic]]", Dr. Robotnik sends Scratch and Grounder to outer space in a rocket to mine a radioactive mineral from asteroids, so that he can use it to power an army of giant robots to conquer Mobius with.
