The brief solution overview

1) Get the thin box and fly the ship to Charon.
  Touch the eighth symbol and then put the orange crystal
  into the small hole. You are given a list of 6 things
  to go out and find in order to return to earth.
  On Charon, get the boots, ball, cookie, and hammer.
  Fly to Mercury.
2) On Mercury, use the hammer on the turned boulder
  to find the iron rock. Get the rock and fly to Pluto.
3) On Pluto, get the glow stick from the blue zone. Go to the
  yellow zone and get the dewar. Go to the southern yellow
  building and get the robot body from the top. Wear it. Go
  to the northern yellow building and search the rubble 6
  times to uncover the underground passage. Enter the passage,
  find and wear the robot head. Walk past the guard robot to
  get the air horn. Return to the surface and go south of the
  yellow road to the ruined machine building. Search the burnt
  machines to find the cubical machine. Insert the ball into
  the cavity to create the black crystal. Go get the food
  container and then go to the end of the green road. Use the air
  horn to get past the vines and get the key. Go to the museum
  in the blue sector. Get the wankel engine and unlock the door.
  Push the white button to get transfered to the top of the tower.
  Push the white button to reveal the device room. Go down and
  program the crystal for Terra 1995. Touch the red pad and return
  to your ship. Go to Mars.
4) On Mars, get the coin and the rope. Use the wankel engine to get
  the ice suit. Buy the strength pill from Fred. Go to Venus.
5) On Venus, use the boots, glow stick, and rope to get the widget
  from the cave. Go to Mars.
6) On Mars, use the rope to get the laser. Go to Europa.
7) On Europa, use the ice suit and strength pill to get the
  neutronium. Go to Charon.
8) On Charon, use the machine to change the iron rock into pure
  iron. Use the dewar to get the pillar ice chip.
9) All 6 of your found items should have been put into the deep
  hole. The black crystal now allows the eighth symbol to be Terra
  1995. Touch the pad and then exit the ship.
