I am having so much trouble getting on the planet earth in the space part. I have homer on the bottom half of the sattelite but I still can't jump far enough with Bart. Any advice? Am I doing something wrong?

I'm in the same jam.... How does Bart get from the space shuttle onto the rings of the planet. We can never jump far enough. Is this the right course of action?

DUDE IT IS EZ JUST JUMP ON TO THE POLE FACE THE PLANETS SPINNING, AND JUMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You need to double jump to make it across. After you put Homer on the back end and raise Bart up have him run towards the corner closest to the ring around Earth. Jump towards it, then while in the air jump again. If you just try to glide you'll always come up short.
