Uncle Ben tries to take some of the gang to Mars in his new spaceship, but runs into problems. Meanwhile, the Beans are having trouble with The Relatives who Stayed Too Long. As usual, everyone pitches in and does their part to help put things right. This one, on a recent rereading, seemed a little disjointed plot-wise, but I read these to feel good about the world, not for the story per se. This one doesn't disappoint on that score.
