"I went back through the canon of the original [1983 HBO] series and then our reboot [ Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock for Apple TV] and I was like, 'Wait, Uncle Matt never really questioned what's beyond, because he thinks he's done it all.' He's like, 'Oh, I've explored outer space'-that's what the Fraggles call our world, right? So he's like, 'I've done it,'"
"To differentiate between the Fraggles' use of "outer space"-the land where the "silly creatures," aka, us humans live-and our "outer space," the show refers to the latter as "outer outer space." (It is not yet clear if that concept will live on beyond the NASA show. "I think it could be," Tartaglia said. "We haven't explored that yet." No pun intended.)"
NASA collaborated with the Jim Henson Company to stage Fraggle Rock: A Space-y Adventure at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. The stage show stars Fraggle Rock Muppets, including Uncle Traveling Matt, as they discover outer (outer) space beyond the Fraggles' own notion of "outer space." The production labels human space as "outer outer space" and ties character growth to themes of exploration. The creative team integrated elements from both the 1983 series and the reboot to expand Uncle Matt's perspective, replacing a Snoopy-centered attraction and aiming to engage visitors with NASA's deep-space plans.
