Ready Jet Go! is an American children's television show that aired on PBS Kids from 2016 to 2019. The show follows the adventures of a little alien named Jet Propulsion and his Earth friends, as they explore the solar system and learn about science and astronomy.

Throughout the series, Jet and his friends travel to different planets and moons in their flying saucer, called the "Sauced Sphere", which is powered by "Bortronium" – a special fuel that Jet's family uses to power their spaceships. Jet's family consists of his parents, an older sister named Sydney, and a mischievous little brother named Sean. They all live on Bortron 7, which is located in the Andromeda Galaxy.

On Earth, Jet's friends are a group of kids who live in a suburban neighborhood. They include Sydney's best friend, Mindy Melendez, who is fascinated by science and astronomy, and her little brother, Sunspot, who is a pet "Lemurian" – a creature that resembles a lemur, but has special abilities to float and fly. The group also includes several other friends, such as Sean's buddy Jetta "Hanka" Handover, who loves to sing and dance, and Mindy's classmate Jet's cousin, Celery Wong, who is interested in gardening and healthy eating.

The show is a blend of animated segments and live-action interstitials, featuring real kids and adults talking about space and science concepts. Each episode revolves around a specific topic, such as the solar system, gravity, or the history of space exploration. The characters explore these topics in a fun and interactive way, often through songs and sketches that break down complex ideas into simple, digestible pieces.

One of the unique aspects of Ready Jet Go! is its focus on cultural diversity and inclusivity. The show features a diverse cast of characters, each with their own background and interests. For example, Jet's family is multiracial, with a Caucasian mother and an African-American father. The show also incorporates Spanish language segments, as Mindy and her family are bilingual. These elements help to make the show relatable and accessible to a wide range of audiences.

Overall, Ready Jet Go! is an engaging and educational show that teaches kids about science and space in a fun and entertaining way. Its focus on diversity and inclusivity makes it a great choice for parents who want to expose their children to different cultures and perspectives. The show has received critical acclaim for its creative storytelling and educational content, and is sure to delight young viewers who are curious about the universe around them.
