I'm tempted to read this story to my 4 year old daughter and see what her opinion is of this "space doctor".
I just did. Her question was: "what does a space doctor checkup"
Which shows part of the problem of this approach: The word doctor is in the top 1000 words in its usage for "medical doctors" but it's not in the top 1000 words in its usage as a reference to PhD graduates.
I liked "Space boats", I bet kids do too.
"Dammit, Jim! I'm a doctor, not an astronomer!"
