Good afternoon, one and all, Joe and Nel here with a very special | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
show on the way. Lots to get through today, including some of | :00:20. | :00:26. | |
this. It's Space Week, and we hear from a real-life moon-walker about | :00:26. | :00:30. | |
his trip to the lunar surface. And find out how Gangnam Style is | :00:30. | :00:35. | |
spreading everywhere, even to the Newsround office. | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
But first, it's being called possibly the greatest sporting | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
comeback of all time. Tonight fans around the world are still catching | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
their breath after an extraordinary win by Europe's top golfers in the | :00:43. | :00:48. | |
Ryder Cup. It was a result that no- one expected and meant all the more | :00:48. | :00:52. | |
to the team as they dedicated it to one of the greatest ever players to | :00:52. | :00:57. | |
play in the competition, Seve Ballesteros, who died last year. | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
As the day began at the Medinah Country Club, for Europe things | :01:00. | :01:04. | |
looked pretty bleak. They faced a team in form, 40,000 screaming home | :01:04. | :01:11. | |
fans and a record score to overcome. USA had one hand on the trophy. It | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
almost started with disaster. The best golfer in the world and | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
Europe's superstar, Rory McIlroy, nearly missed his round because he | :01:17. | :01:23. | |
got the time confused. If a miracle was to happen, it needed a good, no, | :01:23. | :01:28. | |
a brilliant start. And boy, did it get it! 12 points were on offer, | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
America only needed four, but for a while they did not get a sniff. The | :01:33. | :01:37. | |
first five of the day went to the boys from Europe. Suddenly, the | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
crowd were quiet, the USA looked worried, Europe were on fire, and | :01:40. | :01:47. | |
suddenly maybe the impossible was But the USA would not give in like | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
that, and once again Europe were behind. But they fought back, the | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
scores were tied. Then the USA lead again, then they tied. And then, | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
with one steady historical wave of his putter, Martin Kaymer did what | :01:58. | :02:08. | |
:02:08. | :02:13. | ||
We got off to a great start, and miracles do happen. We have played | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
at heart and passion like I have never seen before, it is incredible. | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
And for the captain, whose great friend Seve Ballesteros died last | :02:20. | :02:27. | |
year, the emotion was too much. It means everything, for them, and | :02:27. | :02:32. | |
for us. It was the perfect way to remember one of the greatest | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
European golfers of all time, with an incredible day of golf and a | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
very, very special trophy. That was pretty impressive, but now | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
it's time for something truly out of this world. This week sees the | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
start of World Space Week, which gives young people the chance to | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
celebrate the importance of space and science. So all this week I'm | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
on a mission to answer the big questions and, to blast it off, I | :02:53. | :03:03. | |
thought we'd take a trip to the It is a quarter of a million miles | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
away but it controls our calendar, our moods and of course our tides, | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
affected by the moon. But it is 40 years since we last went back, and | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
there are many mysteries to solve. It was in 1969 when the world | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
watched American Neil Armstrong, who died in August, become the | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
first man to walk on the moon. is one small step for man, one | :03:26. | :03:33. | |
giant leap for mankind. Over the next three years, another 11 | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
astronauts went on to explore the service. One of them was Alan Bean, | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
who has been painting about his experiences ever since. It really | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
changed my life. I know things that other people do not know, because | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
they have not had a chance to experience these things. Looking | :03:50. | :03:57. | |
back, it was amazing how beautiful the earth looks from the pair, and | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
it is the only thing in the sky that is beautiful. Were you scared | :04:01. | :04:07. | |
about getting home? You can look at it and say it is a long way off, | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
but the whole mission was to get us home. America completed the mission | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
to prove to the world that they were the smartest and richest | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
country. But we did learn a lot from the landings. Samples showed | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
us what the moon is made of and scientists have since discovered | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
water ice at its pulse. We also know that the moon is moving away | :04:27. | :04:33. | |
from us. The Apollo astronauts used the special mirrors, a bed like | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
this on the back of cars and bikes, and they have left them on the Moon, | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
a bit smaller than that, then we take a laser, fire it under the | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
reflect and measure the time it takes for the reflection to get | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
back, and that tells us how far away it is. There are loads of | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
reasons why it would be useful to go back. If we are ever going to | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
explore fees, it is the first stepping point. There is probably | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
stuff on the MONUC we could use. The only country with plans to send | :05:01. | :05:08. | |
men to the moon is China, and they want to do it by 2025, but with the | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
International Space Station and Rovers on Mars, space exploration | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
definitely has not stalled. And you can head over to the | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
Newsround website to see more of our exclusive interview with Alan | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
Bean and to tell us your thoughts on space exploration. | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
The world's fish are shrinking, according to a new study. | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
Scientists says climate change is making sea water warmer and that's | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
restricting how big fish can grow. They are warning they could be a | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
quarter of the size in 40 years' time. | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
In sport, Arsenal's ladies are Premier League champions. Kelly | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
Smith's goal helped them beat Doncaster to claim their 11th title | :05:45. | :05:55. | |
:05:55. | :05:56. | ||
in 12 seasons. That makes them one of the most successful teams in the | :05:56. | :06:05. | |
English game. Of course, you know what the really big news is today, | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
don't you? Well it's the horse- riding dance craze that's got the | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
world going mad. I'm talking about Gangnam Style. It's just reached | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
number one in the UK charts, and the man behind it, Psy, is the | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
first Korean ever to hit the top spot in this country. But what's | :06:17. | :06:25. | |
made it such a hit? I've been finding out. Your number one for | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
now, R two, this is Psy with Gangnam Style. It is a South Korean | :06:30. | :06:35. | |
song taking the world by storm, and there's quite a story behind it. | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
is very visual, it makes no sense whatsoever when you listen to it. | :06:39. | :06:45. | |
It makes crazy sense when you watch it, but Gangnam is the south side | :06:45. | :06:52. | |
of the city, which is more fashionable, the money side, and | :06:52. | :06:58. | |
his video is very tongue-in-cheek, because he is saying, I am your man, | :06:59. | :07:06. | |
Gangnam style. A key reason for the start and his incredible success on | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
the internet. Every other text of my radio show is for this song, it | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
is massive, enormous, and people are loving it. Suddenly you have | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
got an absolutely massive hit out of nowhere, and the big record | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
companies that are behind the One that, they hate this kind of thing, | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
because they spend millions on getting their hands out on tour and | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
on the television and doing promotion and getting them all over | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
the place, and then suddenly they are overtaken by a diet that has | :07:38. | :07:42. | |
put his videos and YouTube. This is not the first online video to go | :07:42. | :07:49. | |
viral. But it is arguably the first time it has had such a big effect | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
on the pop charts. Would you say there has been a big shift in the | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
way that people listen, buy or choose what songs they want to | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
listen to? More often, we are definitely going to see things like | :08:00. | :08:06. | |
Gangnam Style, up and charged their way into the charts, the all-over | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
the television and radio, really affecting our lives. Whether it is | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
changing the way things work are not, everyone wants to be | :08:14. | :08:19. | |
associated with it. Katie's very -- Katy Perry has been sharing it | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
online, and Brittany Spears has been learning the moves from the | :08:22. | :08:28. | |
man himself. And it is not just them getting caught up in Gangnam | :08:28. | :08:38. | |
:08:38. | :08:40. | ||
He carried on for hours! Well, it doesn't matter how famous | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
Psy gets, the stars still get nervous. If you're having your tea, | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
look away now, because Justin Bieber suffered a bit of a fever on | :08:46. | :08:51. |
