Hi, guys - Martin here with your chance to pick an astronaut's pack

:00:00.:00:08.

lunch, and new developments for the ever expanding whale. This is

:00:09.:00:14.

Newsround. First then to your chance to design

:00:15.:00:18.

a dinner fit for an astronaut. The UK Space Agency's launched a

:00:19.:00:21.

competition for kids aged eight to 14 to come up with meal ideas for

:00:22.:00:25.

Britain's Tim Peake to eat in when he's in space. And Tim's been giving

:00:26.:00:35.

Newsround some special tips. The competition is for young

:00:36.:00:39.

students to design a meal for me to eat in space. The winning team will

:00:40.:00:43.

get to actually prepared this meal with celebrity chef Heston

:00:44.:00:50.

Blumenthal. An ideal meal tastes really nice. Something that triggers

:00:51.:00:54.

memories, whether friends, family or outdoors. You don't want to open up

:00:55.:00:59.

a packet of warm much that does not taste good. You wanted to be

:01:00.:01:06.

something exciting. It has got to last a long time. Two life -- years

:01:07.:01:12.

shelf life minimum. It has got to be in a sealed packet. It may be a

:01:13.:01:19.

can, it may be a foil pouch. And you do not want too many crumbs from

:01:20.:01:23.

things like bread or biscuits. Crumbs will get all over the place

:01:24.:01:27.

and they will get into the air ventilation system and you will end

:01:28.:01:30.

up having to clean out your filters by the end of the week. We only have

:01:31.:01:35.

a hot water dispenser on board the space station or a can heater. On

:01:36.:01:42.

the whole the space food is not bad. I think there is room for

:01:43.:01:44.

improvement. Next to the latest on the washed up

:01:45.:01:48.

whale experts say could explode at any moment. Earlier in the week we

:01:49.:01:52.

told you how the dead whale was filling up with gases as it decayed

:01:53.:01:55.

on this beach in Newfoundland in Canada. Today the Royal Ontario

:01:56.:01:58.

Museum have said they'll send scientists to pick it up. It's good

:01:59.:02:07.

news for people nearby. The smell of it right now and the

:02:08.:02:10.

gradual rotting of the wail is going to cause havoc -- wail. It is

:02:11.:02:18.

getting worse. Next to a big buzz is building ahead

:02:19.:02:22.

of a weekend of events to honour one of Britain's best poets. We can go

:02:23.:02:26.

live now to Nel, who's right in the middle of it. Where are you?

:02:27.:02:32.

I'm in Laugharne in South Wales, where today the town joins the rest

:02:33.:02:36.

of the world in celebrating the life of Dylan Thomas. It's all to mark

:02:37.:02:49.

100 years since he was born. Why? Well he was a celebrity in his day,

:02:50.:02:53.

the rock and roll poet who was famous across the world for his

:02:54.:02:54.

stories and poems - some so powerful, they even reduced people

:02:55.:03:00.

to tears. This is part of a year of celebration's

:03:01.:03:00.

to tears. This is part of a year of the globe - from India to Argentina

:03:01.:03:05.

- and here tonight, in the place where he wrote many of his works,

:03:06.:03:08.

there'll be shows and performances involving a new generation of fans.

:03:09.:03:11.

The writing shed where Thomas did a lot of his world-renowned writing.

:03:12.:03:16.

The poems, the short stories and the plays, some of them written right in

:03:17.:03:20.

here. This is the famous boathouse that he lived in for the last few

:03:21.:03:24.

years of his life. It overlooks a stunning Bay. I can see where he got

:03:25.:03:33.

his inspiration. You or I knew he was a poet from Wales. I only

:03:34.:03:41.

learned later what a great rivalry was. He is a great inspiration to

:03:42.:03:45.

children like me to write. We are only here for one day, just looking

:03:46.:03:51.

around where he lived and worked. Poetry would not be the same as it

:03:52.:03:54.

is now if it was not for Dylan Thomas. I am joined by a Dylan

:03:55.:04:01.

Thomas expert. When we say the man was a great writer, what do we mean?

:04:02.:04:08.

We mean that the times when he wrote, the poems are still being

:04:09.:04:16.

read and enjoyed today. Why do we need to do this? He inspires us

:04:17.:04:21.

still. It is 100 years since his birth and he still inspires writers

:04:22.:04:26.

and musicians. We happen hanging out all day today. What do you think of

:04:27.:04:30.

him and what have you been doing lately? I have read the poems with

:04:31.:04:37.

my family and we have really enjoyed it. Have you guys been having fun? I

:04:38.:04:44.

have had fun today. I know you have had fun. William, what about you?

:04:45.:04:56.

No, that's William. That's Josh! I'm really sorry. We have to finish the

:04:57.:05:01.

show. That said. -- that is it.
