(lively electronic music plays)

In animation, two aliens fly across space in a spaceship.

Blynk is a rectangular green alien with spiky hair and long fangs.

Aazoo is a round orange alien with 3 eyes.

With the help of M.A.V.I.S., the spaceship computer, and real Earth scientists, they listen to real Earth children's questions and try to find answers.

A song plays that says BLYNK AND AAZOO
I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU

The name of the show reads "Blynk and Aazoo. Imagine, investigate, invent!"

In the spaceship, Blynk checks the controls.

(humming)
Blink says NASA, NASA.

(alarm)
Aazoo gets scared a knocks a jar of balls to the floor.

M.A.V.I.S. says REPORTING, TRANSMITTING,
INCOMING INQUIRY.

Blink slips on the balls and says EEEE!
WHOA!

A real life boy called Shlok pops up on a screen and says BLYNK, AAZOO!
OH HI.
I WAS WATCHING A SUPERHERO
MOVIE LAST NIGHT.

He is around 12 years old. He has short black hair and wears a blue T-shirt.

He says AND IT MADE ME WONDER,
HOW COULD I GET
SUPERHUMAN STRENGTH?

Aazoo shows his biceps and says OOOOH.
OHHH.

M.A.V.I.S. says AAZOO STRENGTH LEVEL
NEITHER SUPER NOR HUMAN.
HOWEVER, THIS
QUESTION HAS A LOT OF
INVENTION POTENTIAL.

(alien babbling)
Blink presses a button.

M.A.V.I.S. says CALLING INTERSTELLAR
SCIENCE COUNSEL, CAPTAIN.

A real life scientist called Eugenia pops up on another screen and says HELLO!
DOES SOMEONE HAVE
A QUESTION FOR ME?

Eugenia is in her thirties with long black hair in a ponytail. She wears a light orange T-shirt and round earrings.

Shlok says YES.
I'M SHLOK, AND I WANT TO KNOW
HOW COULD I GET
SUPERHUMAN STRENGTH?

Blink and Aazoo say UH-HUH.

Eugenia says HI SHLOK, I'M EUGENIA.
SO YOU WANNA BE
SUPER STRONG, EH?
OKAY, WHERE WOULD
YOU LIKE TO START?

Shlok says WELL, LOOKING AT
MUSCLES, I THINK.
(computer beeping and swooshing)
(Shlok laughing)

Blink shows a picture of oysters.

Eugenia says WELL, MUSCLES DO
HAVE MUSCLES, BLYNK,
BUT LET'S LOOK AT THE
HUMAN BODY FILES, PLEASE.
SUBCATEGORY:
MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM.

An animated clip shows the human muscles.

M.A.V.I.S. says MUSCLES ARE THE STRETCHY TISSUES
INSIDE YOUR BODY
THAT HELP YOU MOVE.

Eugenia says LIKE AN ELASTIC
BAND, THEY CAN EXTEND
AND CONTRACT.

M.A.V.I.S. says MUSCLES ARE ATTACHED TO BONES
BY TENDONS.
WHEN THE BRAIN GIVES
THE SIGNAL TO MOVE,
THE MUSCLES CONTRACT,
PULL ON THE TENDON,
AND LIFT UP THE BONE.
THE ARM BONES LIFT
UP THE HAND BONES,
WHICH LIFT UP THE TROMBONES.

(unamused grunting)

Shlok says SO ALL THAT GOES
ON INSIDE MY ARM
WHEN I TRY TO LIFT SOMETHING?

Eugenia says THAT'S RIGHT, BUT
NOT JUST YOUR ARM.

M.A.V.I.S. says THE HUMAN BODY HAS
OVER 650 SKELETAL MUSCLES.

Shlok says WHOA, THAT'S A LOT!
I GUESS I DON'T
NEED MORE MUSCLES,
BUT DO I NEED BIGGER
ONES TO BE STRONGER?

The aliens say UH-HUH.

Shlok says LIKE A BODYBUILDER!

(surprised exclamations)

Eugenia says IT WOULD SEEM
LIKE IT, BUT, EVEN THOUGH
BODYBUILDERS HAVE HUGE MUSCLES,
THERE'S A LIMIT TO HOW
STRONG THEY CAN GET.

Shlok says REALLY?

Eugenia says YEP, SUPERHUMAN
STRENGTH WOULD MEAN
THAT OUR MUSCLES MIGHT BE
ABLE TO LIFT UP A TRUCK,
BUT OUR TENDONS AND BONES WOULD
BREAK FROM THE WEIGHT OF IT.

A clip shows female and male bodybuilders lifting weights.

Shlok says YIKES!

Aazoo accidentally drops a dumbbell on Blink's foot.
(BLYNK EXCLAIMING IN PAIN)

Shlok says POOR BLYNK!

Eugenia says IF YOU REALLY WANNA LEARN
ABOUT SUPER STRENGTH,
WE SHOULD TAKE A
LOOK AT SOME ANIMALS.

Shlok says LIKE AN ELEPHANT?

Eugenia says WELL, YES, BUT
SOME OF THE ANIMALS
THAT CAN LIFT THE
MOST FOR THEIR SIZE
ARE ACTUALLY VERY TINY.

Shlok says OH COOL!
WHICH ONES?

Eugenia says BLYNK, I THINK YOU HAVE
SOME BUGS IN YOUR FILES?

Blink sprays bug repellent on his head.

Eugenia says NO, NO, I MEAN YOU
HAVE SOME FILES
ABOUT SUPER STRONG BUGS.

Blink plays a record.

Eugenia says YOU MAY NOT HAVE A
USE FOR ANIMAL POOP,
BUT THE DUNG BEETLE
USES IT FOR FOOD
AND A PLACE TO LAY EGGS.

Shlok says WHAT?!

M.A.V.I.S. says THE DUNG BEETLE CAN MOVE
1,141 TIMES ITS OWN BODY
WEIGHT IN ANIMAL FECES.

Eugenia says THAT'S LIKE
ONE PERSON PULLING
SIX BUSES FULL OF PEOPLE.

Shlok says THOSE DUNG BEETLES
MUST BE STRONG,
THAT'S A LOT OF POOP TO ROLL.

Aazoo appears wearing a beetle costume pushing a huge ball.

Shlok says HA!
IT'S AN AAZOO BEETLE.

Aazoo says AW!

The ball rolls over Blynk.

Blink says UH, UH, UH, UH, UH...
AAZOO!

Shlok says ARE THERE OTHER INSECTS
THAT ARE SUPER STRONG?

Eugenia says THERE SURE ARE.

A clip shows an ant carrying a leave.

Shlok says WHOA, WHAT
KIND OF ANT IS THAT?

M.A.V.I.S. says THIS IS A LEAF CUTTER ANT.
IT CAN CARRY PIECES OF LEAVES
50 TIMES ITS OWN WEIGHT.

Eugenia says THAT'S LIKE
YOU CARRYING TWO HORSES.

Shlok says THAT WOULD
BE AWESOME, BUT HOW?
DO ANTS HAVE MUSCLES?

Eugenia says THEY DO, BUT THAT'S
NOT WHY THEY'RE SO STRONG.
WHEN YOU OR I PICK A BOOK UP,
WE MOSTLY USE OUR
HAND AND ARM MUSCLES,
BUT WHEN AN ANT PICKS UP A LEAF,
IT'S USING ITS WHOLE BODY.
THE REASON IT CAN DO THAT IS
BECAUSE IT HAS AN EXOSKELETON.

M.A.V.I.S. says INSECTS HAVE THEIR SKELETONS
ON THE OUTSIDES OF THEIR BODIES
INSTEAD OF ON THE
INSIDE LIKE HUMANS DO.
WHEN AN ANT LIFTS SOMETHING,
THE EXOSKELETON HELPS SPREAD
OUT THE WEIGHT OF THE OBJECT
ACROSS MORE OF THE ANT'S BODY.

Shlok says SO ONE WAY TO GET
SUPERHERO STRENGTH
IS TO USE MY WHOLE BODY?

Eugenia says EXACTLY.
AND SCIENTISTS HAVE BEEN
WORKING WITH THAT EXACT IDEA.
BLYNK?

(ALIEN NOISE)
(TYPING)

Shlok says COOL, WHAT IS IT?

Now, the clip shows a man wearing a robotic structure.

Eugenia says IT'S CALLED
AN EXOSKELETON SUIT.
IT LETS HUMANS HAVE SKELETONS
ON THE OUTSIDE OF THEIR BODIES
JUST LIKE ANTS
AND OTHER INSECTS.

Shlok says SO, IF I WORE THAT,
I COULD LIFT THINGS
THAT WERE TOO HEAVY BEFORE?

Eugenia says THAT'S RIGHT.
THIS SUIT SPREADS THE WEIGHT
OF WHATEVER YOU'RE CARRYING
TO THE EXOSKELETON.
IT MEANS YOU CAN LIFT REALLY
HEAVY THINGS WAY MORE EASILY.

M.A.V.I.S. says A HUMAN WEARING THIS SUIT
CAN LIFT ABOUT 100
KILOGRAMS OVER AND OVER
WITHOUT GETTING TIRED
OR HURTING THEMSELVES.

Aazoo nods.

M.A.V.I.S. says AND SOMETHING ELSE THAT
WEIGHTS 100 KILOGRAMS IS...

Eugenia says A BABY ELEPHANT!

Shlok says SHLOK, ELEPHANT LIFTER!
AAZOO, WHAT IS THAT?

Aazoo walks on sticks using magnets. He tries to lift Blynk.

Eugenia says AAZOO, I'M NOT SURE
IF THAT'S MAKING YOU STRONGER.

(Aazoo straining)
(Shlok laughing)

Aazoo falls. Blink uses a cradle to lift a box Aazoo dropped on the floor.

M.A.V.I.S. says PLEASE HANDLE WITH CARE.

Shlok says SO I LIKE HOW AN EXOSKELETON
WOULD MAKE ME STRONGER,
BUT THEY LOOK REALLY BIG.

Eugenia says YUP, YOU'RE RIGHT,
AND THAT'S WHY SOME SCIENTISTS
ARE LOOKING AT CREATING
SMALLER EXOSKELETONS.
SOME EVEN LOOK LIKE
EVERYDAY CLOTHES.

Shlok says OOH, WHAT IF I COULD
CREATE A GLOVE WITH
SUPER STRENGTH POWER?
THEN I COULD LIFT
ANYTHING ANYTIME I WANTED.

Blink says AAAH!
(bell ringing)

M.A.V.I.S. says INSPIRATION DETECTED.
INVENTION STATION
IS READY, CAPTAIN.

Blynk goes in the invention room and creates a robotic glove.

(playful music)
(tools crashing)
(machinery buzzing)
(Blynk and Aazoo exclaiming)

Shlok says YOU MADE MY GLOVE!
I WANT TO TRY IT!

Eugenia says I'M NOT SURE THE TECHNOLOGY
IS QUITE READY YET, BLYNK.

M.A.V.I.S. says BLYNK, I'M AFRAID YOUR
PROBABILITY
OF SUCCESS IS .0000003.

Shlok says WHAT ARE YOU GONNA LIFT?

(Blynk and Aazoo mumbling)
(Aazoo laughing)
(electrical short circuiting)
(Blynk and Aazoo crying out)
(crashing)

Blink lifts Aazoo and places him on top of a tower of boxes he is carrying. After a short circuit occurs, Aazoo falls to the ground.

Eugenia says A GOOD SCIENTIST ALWAYS
WORKS TO FIX PROBLEMS, BLYNK.
SO KEEP TRYING.

Shlok says MAYBE WHEN I GROW UP I'M
GOING TO BE THE SCIENTIST
WHO INVENTS SUPER
STRENGTH GLOVES.

Eugenia says NOW THAT WOULD BE
SCIENCE-TASTIC.

Shlok says BYE EVERYONE!

Eugenia says BYE, SHLOK!

(space ship zooming)

M.A.V.I.S. says THE SEARCH FOR INVENTIONS
CONTINUES.
ALL SYSTEMS ENGAGE.

(electronic music plays)

The end credits roll.

The song says BLYNK AND AAZOO
I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU.
