It´s Chapek 9. Don´t mispell name of our great author.

You beat me to it! Capek was the surname of the man that invented the term "robot" for machines. Well something along the lines of that... anyway, it shows how much thought they put into naming the robot planet.

edit: I just found this:

"Contrary to the popular opinion, Karel Capek, the author of RUR is not the inventor of the word robot. The word which is derived from the czech noun "robota" meaning "labor" is an accomplishement of Capek's older brother, the cubist painter and writer Josef Capek.
The word first appeared in the play RUR published in 1920. Some claim that the word "robot" was first used in Josef Capek's short story Opilec (the Drunkard) published in the collection Lelio in 1917. According to the Capek brother's Society in Prague this is not correct. The word used in Opilec is "automat"."

Where's McPluto?

---

That's probably the name used to refer to the planet in the business world, since it's owned by the McDonald's Corporation. They set up the penguin preserve as an attempt to show they were environmentally friendly, as well as a cheap source of meat for for their McPenguin sandwiches.

I believe Venus was only shown in Leela's dream, but she might well have been there before, or at least seen pictures of it, so we can probably assume that's what it really looks like. There are also apparently Venusians living on Earth, although I don't know that we've actually seen any of them.

Amy mentions a Jupiter State University in "Bendless Love."

The Sun: The closest we come to visiting the sun is in "The Farnsworth Parabox", when Hermes almost throws a box containing Universe 1 into the sun. Also, job deserters are fired out of a cannon into the sun, and a television program called The Real World: The Sun is filmed there.

Mercury: Fry and Amy visit Mercury in "Put Your Head on My Shoulders". It has one gas station. Mercury has a breathable atmosphere in the 31st century, but it is still very hot.

Venus: Venus is never actually visited during the series, but Fry and Leela dance in a Venusian garden in her dream in "The Sting".

The Earth: Earth is seen in almost every episode. Enough said.

The Moon: The PE crew goes to the moon in "The Series Has Landed". Aside from the amusement park, the moon remains much the same as it is today.

Mars: The PE crew visits Mars in "Mars University" and "Where the Buggalo Roam". Mars has been terraformed, and is home to Mars University, where Amy is a student and Professor Farnsworth teaches. Amy's parents own the Western Hemisphere of Mars, where they have a buggalo ranch. Mars was once inhabited by a race of native Martians, but they have since left in search of a new planet.

Jupiter: Jupiter itself is never visited during the series, but in "Put Your Head on My Shoulders" Fry, Amy, and Zoidberg visit Jupiter's moon Europa.

Saturn: Saturn is also never visited during the series, but Fry and Leela dance along its rings in the holophoner sequence in "Parasites Lost".

Uranus: Although Uranus is never seen during the series, in "A Big Ball of Garbage" we learn that its name has been changed to Urectum.

Neptune: The PE crew visits Neptune in "A Tale of Two Santas". Santa's ice fortress is located at the North Pole of Neptune, where he opresses the local Neptunian people. Like Mercury and Mars, Neptune has a breathable atmosphere. Neptunians are also seen throughout the series, most notably Elzar and Heather.

Pluto: The PE crew goes to Pluto in "The Birdbot of Ice-catraz". Pluto is home to a penguin preserve. Pluto has a breathable atmosphere, and a climate similar to that of Antarctica.

Haley's Comet: The PE crew goes to Haley's Comet in "Crimes of the Hot" to get ice, but the comet is out of ice.

And in case anyone wondered, the only episode that does not have any scenes set on Earth is "Where the Buggalo Roam."

There should be a "´" above the "C", but my keyboard doesn't seem to be able to render that properly.

I knew that I missed one of the moons of either Jupiter or Saturn, but I couldn't think of which one.

And a farm or two.

Well, yeah; but that's the only thing on Mercury. What else was I going to mention?

Edit: Moon being counted as a planet in this instance, naturally.

Fair enough, but I think that the farms on the moon are worth mentioning if we are discussing what is shown of planets in our solar system.

There's plenty of other stuff that I could have said about Mars, too.

I don't want to keep replying, but I feel obliged to. Your statment about the moon: "Aside from the amusement park, the moon remains much the same as it is today" makes it sound like you are saying that the amusement park is the only thing that is different between the moon of Futurama and the moon of today. I was just pointing out that there is at least one farm, perhaps more. whether or not you deem it necessary for inclusion in your run-down of the solar system is not the issue. This thread is about what we see of planets in our solar system in Futurama, and I was offering some previously unsaid information. That is all.

I presume that's why he said "much the same as it remains today", not exactly. One farm isn't really that much, considering the size of the whole moon, plus the only thing it seems to be known for is the park.

But seriously... it's a dump with a tacky amusement park QUOTE]
