* StockFootage: For educational purposes again. As the main human denizens of Sesame Street (Maria, Bob, Gordon & Susan, Luis, etc...) and some of the child and older monsters (Oscar, Zoë, and Elmo) discuss what space is all about, the adult denizens reminisce about the Apollo 11 mission to the moon over various clips of the event.

* AstronomicZoom: For educational purposes, during a dialogue, where Elmo thinks that the boundary between our atmosphere and outer space is around where a bird flies. Gordon clarifies that its much further away than that, and there is much more to space.

*PaperThinDisguise: For comedy purposes. A chicken, presumably interested in eating the worms, sneaks into WASA dressed in striped clothing, under the name "Selma Worm". Even the WASA Commander comments:
