Li Qingzhao (li) and Martin Luther King (王) have the mission to find out the intrinsic order (理) and inner essence (理) of sunflowers (里) in the space station (Ø3). They grow a few sunflowers and care for them very meticulously, talking to them and everything.

玉

Mnemonic symbol: a nation's flag. Let's say the Chinese flag.
In the observatory's kitchen (o2) Gitta Giraffe (gu) is practising her ballet performance. She got a whole crate (囗) full of jade bracelets (玉) and flags (国) and fixed one flag to each jade bracelet. This makes a perfect combination for throwing the ring with the flag waving behind it and catching the ring again after a few pirouettes.
