Afternoon. Martin here with the mystery of a lost land under the

sea, coming up. Plus, how to make paper out of fell fant poo. Keep --

elephant poo. Keep watching. First, to exciting news about the

possibility of the UK one day having its own spaceport. The Government

has backed the idea as part of plans to increase space business.

The UK's sprays industry is growing w the -- space industry is growing.

One idea is the possibility of a spaceport on our doorstep. It is

where we launch spacecraft. Might do it with rockets. We might do it in

the future with space planes that take off like aircraft. We've never

had anything like this in the UK before. It is exciting news. The

world's first commercial spaceport officially opened in New Mexico in

2011, with the aim of eventually taking ordinary people, albeit very

rich, up into space. It costs ?120 million to build. If you are

launching space planes, you would need long runways. Yes, it would

look like an airport. You would need the buildings to service the planes

in and so on. If you were launching rockets you would need such as you

have at Cape Canaveral and in Kazakhstan. Where could we put one

in the UK? If we are launching space planes and rockets, we need to

launch them well away from populated areas. We need to think of remote

areas of the UK. The north of Scotland is one of the areas being

considered as a spaceport base. If it does go ahead then it could

happen as soon as 2018. Toen ash shoe which has got -- to an issue

which has got plenty of you speaking.

What are they talking about? Household chores. The Spanish

Government want to bring in guidelines that say all young people

should help out around the house. I spoke to one family about the idea.

I think it is pathetic because all the kids will think they cannot do

what they want and have time with their friends. It is right because

people, they sit down so their mums can just do it. I think the

Government is right. And here is some more of your

thoughts. Next, we all know that Britain is an

island. Thousands of years ago that wasn't the case. There was an area

called Doggerland that connected it to Europe. Now scientists say they

have found out more about how it finally disappeared.

The UK, as it is now. Imagine a time when you could have walked on land

from here to northern Germany. Well, thousands of years ago it was

possible. This area was known as Doggerland and connected us to

Europe. There were humans living there and alongside them dear and

there would have been a lot of fish in the sea that the humans hunted.

Also there would have been a lot of vegetation, so fruit, as well as

trees, grasslands. Scientists discovered the existence of

Doggerland a few years ago. Now they know more about it. A tsunami,

similar to the ones that devastated East Asia - these days they are

extremely rare in Europe. Researchers believe 8,000 years ago

a massive landslide off Norway caused a mass save wave that wiped

out the last people to live in Doggerland. We know a tsunami

happened because there was sed meant which have been found in Scotland

and Norway, as well as Greenland as well. Other scientists have been

able to date these samples and figure out this tsunami happened

8,000 years ago. Sea levels were already rising causing Doggerland to

become islands. This computer-generated image estimates

the impact the wave would have had on however much was left. Now we

know more about it than ever. There are many mysteries to unearth about

the lost land under the sea. To the zookeepers putting poo to good use.
