Every world in Mackaboo Universe

The spaceship's map has six pages, one swipe apart: the spaceship's own, then five more that each fly to four worlds. Every world has four places to play in (Earth has all six of Mackaboo Town). Tap a world to see every place, what is in it, who lives there, and Papaboo's true facts.

 The map of the Moon
The MoonEarth's own Moon, where astronauts first walked in 1969: grey hills, craters full of boot prints, and a black, starry sky even by day, with Earth hanging big and blue above. Friends from Earth live here in space suits, and everybody bounces high.
 The map of Mars
MarsThe red planet, red because its dust is rusty. Friends from Earth live here in space suits, with a rover, a dome to live in and a greenhouse growing potatoes.
 The map of the Sun

 The map of the Satellite

Questions

How do you travel in Mackaboo Universe?

Every trip goes planet, spaceship, planet. The spaceship's map flies to each world; each world's map flies back aboard. Swipe the spaceship's map to the left to go deeper into space.

Are there aliens?

Yes, friendly ones, but never in our own solar system. Aliens live only far beyond our Sun: in the Nebula, on planet Bork, at Betelgeuse and the Black Hole, and on the real planets round other stars. An alien can ride the spaceship anywhere, and waits aboard while it visits our solar system.

Which worlds are free?

The spaceship, Earth, the Moon, Mars and the Sun (Close to Home) and Pluto, the Happy Asteroid, the Nebula and planet Bork (Farther Out) are free. Deep Space, Moons and Mysteries and Nearby Stars are optional one-time packs at $1.99 each, or $4.99 for all three together (All of Space), each behind a grown-up question.

Are the planets real?

All but Bork, Kiwi's made-up home planet. Earth, the Moon, Mars, the Sun, Pluto, Saturn, Betelgeuse, Titan, Europa and the planets round other stars are real, and Papaboo's facts about them are true; the asteroid, the nebula, the satellite, the comet and the black hole are made-up friendly ones of real kinds.
