The Series follows Astrodude, an astronaut who goes out into space but little does he know that the planets, moons, etc can talk and think, just like us. This fact makes him wonder whether he's going insane or not, as the planets also engage in their own drama.

*AnthropomorphizedAnatomy: In the episode “What happens if your body is EXPOSED to the Vacuum of Space?”, we seen Astrodude’s organs and like planets, moons, ect, they can talk.
*AxCrazy:
**Sun, particularly in the earlier episodes, as he often has a SlasherSmile and would often threaten planets that if they leave their orbit then he’ll shoot them with solar flares.
**If you thought that The Sun was bad, Ceres is even worse as he contains all the traits of Sun in the early episodes but without any of the good qualities The Sun has, [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/solarballs/images/a/a2/SomethingsHidingintheAsteroidBelt.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/1000?cb=20230121181316 even the thumbnail of his debut episode, he has a Slasher smile]] and he is the only character in the entire show whose dialogue only consists of laughter, further establishing himself as crazy.
*BadBoss: Houston makes Astrodude go on missions with no return date and doesn’t seem to care about his well being.
*{{Blackmail}}: In “The Secret of Venus” Earth blackmails Venus into becoming his servant or else he’ll reveal to everyone the meaning of his name.

*EdutainmentShow: This show is supposed to teach people about the solar system through the lenses of talking planets and other celestial bodies, however as it went on, the show dropped the education part of ‘edutainment’.
*EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Everyone calls Astrodude, well Astrodude even though he has a real name, it’s just unknown what his real name even is.
*ForgetfulJones: Neptune is shown to be quite forgetful, as he couldn’t even remember Pluto right after meeting him!
*GoMadFromTheIsolation: While not AxCrazy like The Sun and Ceres, Neptune’s odd traits such as [[ForgetfulJones his short-term memory]] were caused by loneliness for 165 years because of his orbit.
*JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Earth, while he started off as a jerk to the moons and even his own friends, he actively tries to better himself when he realizes his mistakes.
*MultiPartEpisode: There are multiple of these such as:
**Surviving Venus Part 1 and Part 2
**The Earth Alone Part 1 and Part 2
**Mission to Titan Part 1 and Part 2
**The Moons of Jupiter Part 1 and Part 2
*OriginsEpisode: The episode “How to become a Space Explorer! (feat. @veritasium)” acts as one for Astrodude as it tells the story about how he became an astronaut.
*KnightTemplar: Europa and Ganymede would do anything even if that means killing all life on Earth and attacking Mars and Venus, so the planets would treat them as equals.
*NationsAsPeople: While they aren’t the main focus like with WebAnimation/MrSpherical, WebComic/PolandBall characters sometimes appear in scenes that take place on Earth.

*SlasherSmile: Both AxCrazy characters, The Sun and Ceres have really creepy smiles that represent their personality.
*SpecialGuest: Some videos have other [=YouTubers=] preform as themselves, this includes:
**Veritasium, in “How to become a Space Explorer!”.
**Steve Taylor (aka WebAnimation/Kurzgesagt), in “What REALLY is a planet?”.
**[=ChrisDaCow=], in “Is the Universe a Simulation?”.
**Bricksane, in “LEGO Planets!”
**Dan Rhodes in “Space is Magic!”
*SuicideForOthersHappiness: The episode “The Earth is heading to the SUN!?” has Earth attempt suicide, thinking that everyone would be better off without him.
*TalkingDownTheSuicidal: The episode “The Earth is heading to the SUN!?”, has Mercury and The Moon try to talk Earth from committing suicide, which fortunately succeeds.
*WarArc: The most recent StoryArc, ‘The Moon Revolution’ has to do with a war against The Planets and The Moons.
*{{Yandere}}: Europa threatens Ganymede if he ever calls another girl babe again, she’ll push him out of orbit and into space.
