Jet's human friends on Earth are just as passionate about space as he is, and with the Propulsions' minivan that can turn into a saucer, they get to experience space first-hand. His friends are Sydney, a science-fiction buff with a particular love for ''Commander Cressida''; Sean, a neurotic nerd who wants to lead the first human mission to Mars, [[IronicFear yet is always apprehensive of going to space]]; and Mindy, a 4-year-old girl [[ConstantlyCurious whose constant stream of questions]] prompts the older kids to search for an answer in space. She usually stays on Earth, but in the second season, she turns 5 and finally gets to go to space. Jet's friends also help to keep the Propulsions' alien identity a secret. Jet's inability to keep his identity under wraps is a frequent source of comedy and drama.

Due to being an alien, and the most interesting kid ever, Jet has become popular in the town of Boxwood Terrace and has formed a posse with the neighbor kids, appointing himself leader of the group with little complaint from the others. His friends are Sydney Skelley, who is a huge science fiction geek and NiceGirl with a great imagination and idolizes a fictional character named Commander Cressida; the 4 year old LittleMissSnarker Mindy Melendez, who is hilariously snarky and is ConstantlyCurious, often asking the questions that lead the episode's plots, and even though she cannot go into space with the older kids yet, she is still treated as an equal and never talked down to; and the NervousWreck Sean Rafferty, a ChildProdigy who is practical, easily nervous, and dreams of leading the first human mission to UsefulNotes/{{Mars}}, but, [[FatalFlaw gets space-sick easily, is afraid of heights, and has claustrophobia, while also having panic attacks]]. And even better, the Propulsions' car turns into a flying saucer, which they frequently use to take the other kids into space.

Their alien identities are known only to Sean, Mindy, and Sydney, but they otherwise make some effort to conceal their origin. Unfortunately for the Propulsions, they have a difficult time keeping their alien identities secret, having almost exposed their identities several times throughout the series, though they always manage to keep it a secret anyway. The only characters who have likely chances of knowing are Dr. Rafferty (Sean's mother), a DSA scientist who was informed by Jet about his origins, but luckily dismisses it as "imagination", and the resident KidDetective Mitchell Peterson, who can either be [[ItsAllAboutMe vain]], [[TheStoic quiet and obedient]], or [[TakeAThirdOption both]]. He, for unknown reasons, constantly spies on Jet, and even tried to expose his secret alien identity in front of the [[DisproportionateRetribution whole town]], which failed, ''twice''. The only one who knows of this is Mindy, who is constantly sneaking up on him when he least expects it.

At the end of each episode, scientist Amy Mainzer (also called Astronomer Amy) hosts educational interstitial segments: the segments are not included in the export version.
The educational mission of the series is to build on children’s curiosity about astronomy and earth science, telling stories that feature characters learning about space in a way that is accessible to children.

Before appearing on television, ''Ready Jet Go!'' was leaked on the PBS Kids video app. As a result, ''Ready Jet Go!'' has received critical acclaim, a million streams online, and the highest ratings on PBS Kids, including 7.6 million kids on linear television. ''Ready Jet Go!'' has an app called ''Space Explorer''. The App was featured as ‘Best New App’ on the front page of the US App Store and hit #1 free app in Kids and #2 free app in Education. In August 2016, ''Ready Jet Go!'' was renewed for a second season, which premiered on April 2, 2018.
