Kids go on field trips to zoos, museums, farms, parks, and all sorts of other places. The idea is to allow students to be able to experience something of educational value outside of the usual school environment. Eventually it may be possible for students to go on more exotic field trips, possibly even up into outer space. If it ever becomes possible to teleport humans from one location to another, such travel could be quick and easy. Unfortunately, the students who go on the space field trip depicted in this song/video are a bit disappointed with what they experience, but not all field trips wind up being highly valuable educational expeditions. To make matters worse, the food the kids eat in the ship's cafeteria actually makes them sick. Apparently some things never change, even in the future where space travel is quick and easy!
