* TooFastToStop: The S.S. Heart is powered by an Earth-mass artificial black hole, and it moving through space is basically due to its gravity pulling it forward. They once had to nuke a rogue planet into oblivion because it was in their way and they couldn't really change course.

** The original premise of the show would have had Grumpy and Kate traveling through time to SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong throughout Earth's history, but the two Martians behind the show realized that they didn't know enough about Earth history for it to work.

Doomed to grow up and die on a colony spaceship in the middle of nowhere, 14-year-old girl Kate is trying to fulfill her lifelong dream of becoming a space pilot, and explore the Universe.

!!Tropes:
* AfterTheEnd: In the universe of the show, the GreatOffscreen destroyed Earth and rendered Mars all but uninhabitable. The S.S. Heart was built to try and ferry some of the survivors to a new solar system to rebuild.
* AnimatedActors: There's an "actor-verse" that runs on the assumption that "Aim for the Stars" is an in-universe show that the characters are all actors in.
* BizarreAlienBiology:
** Venusians can swap brains due to a powerful HealingFactor and their whole bodies basically being bundles of neurons, allowing them to exchange knowledge and memories.
** Plutonians all sleepwalk due to their ancestors needing to hunt constantly for food, and can eat anything above 40 Kelvin. They also have three brains but tend to only use one at a time.
** Hedge's species is from Enceladus, and they're basically {{RockMonster}}s that not even neutrons can penetrate, and they seem to get all their energy from sunlight.
* DeceasedParentsAreTheBest: Kate's parents were pilots who apparently died when they investigated an extrasolar object. Kate obviously misses them very much.
* ExtremeOmnivore: Plutonians can eat anything above 40 Kelvin, and have a particular fondness for eating rocks.
* GenerationShips: The S.S. Heart is this for its human passengers, though the Martians are apparently LongLived enough that this isn't so much the case for them.
* GreatOffscreenWar: One between Earth and Mars in the backstory. In the "actor-verse", it lasted three years, but in the show's universe, it lasted ''thirty'' years.
* TheUnsmile: Martians ''cannot'' smile and Grumpy's actor produces one of these trying to make a smile.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Mentioned a couple of times InUniverse for the "actor-verse":
** The original premise of the show would have had Grumpy and Kate traveling through time to SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong throughout Earth's history, but the two Martians behind the show realized that they didn't know enough about Earth history for it to work.
** Kate's twin brother Kit was originally going to be part of the show as well, but he had to leave the project due to being too busy.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair:
** Martians seem to have this, like Grumpy's pink hair.
** Kate has blue hair herself.
