* GeniusBonus: Some may recognize movements from the "Mars Suite" from Gustav Holst's "The Planets" when The Count counts down for the rocket launch, and during the final narration. However, another less-known piece, the "Jupiter Suite" (Namely, the third movement), is used again during the WASA Commander's pre-launch presentation to the neighborhood of Sesame Street.

-->'''Launch Commander:''' Space: The Final Frontier. This is the voyage of the Wormship "Wiggleprise" and its crew of five very brave, very smart, ''very'' '''''cute''''' little worms, whose mission is to explore space and the moon, and... ''to wiggle'' '''''where no worm has wiggled before!'''''
* SneezeOfDoom: Subverted. The smoke from the grounded, but running, rocket causes Snuffy to begin an enormous sneeze, but it is actually '''''just''''' what the rocket needs to liftoff.
* WhamShot: The rocket ''actually'' launches, and is shown traveling through space!
-->'''Launch Commander:''' ''[over loudspeaker]'' [[AC: We have '''''LIFTOFF!''''']]\\

'''Oscar the Grouch:''' ''My worm is in'' '''''space?!'''''

WASA Launch Day arrives on Sesame Street, but getting things off the ground (both literally and figuratively) is not as easy as it seems to be.
----
!!Tropes in this episode include:
*CerebusSyndrome: Starting with this episode, things start to get serious (in Sesame Street standards). Almost everything, from the boarding of the rocket, to the actual launch is treated with dignity, with a few comedic mishaps, and racuous, but revered celebration when the launch actually *does* happen.
*ShownTheirWork: The fact that NASA was brought in to make this as realistic for Sesame Street as possible.
