A very good afternoon to you, you're watching Newsround with me, Joe. On | :00:07. | :00:10. | |
the way, spinning spaceships and drinking wee, could this be how we | :00:10. | :00:14. | |
send humans to Mars? And buggies fit for a prince. We've got your royal | :00:14. | :00:19. | |
designs. But, first, some breaking news about | :00:19. | :00:23. | |
something we all use every day. Money. Following a big row over the | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
lack of women's pictures on our bank notes, the famous author Jane Austen | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
will appear on �10 notes from 2017. Campaigners have described it as a | :00:30. | :00:36. | |
brilliant day for women and a fantastic one for people power. | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
A mission to Mars. Sending a human there is the next big step in | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
exploration but how do you do it? Lots of companies are planning to | :00:43. | :00:47. | |
send people to the red planet at some point but no one's really sure | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
whether the plans will actually work. So, now, a team of top space | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
experts have designed a mission they think could do it. And they've | :00:54. | :01:01. | |
thought of everything! Here's Leah. Could this be what a mission to Mars | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
looks like? These are not real artist retorts and this isn't | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
actually a real spaceship, but it is a similar nation of what one could | :01:10. | :01:12. | |
look like. A team of space scientists from Imperial College | :01:12. | :01:18. | |
London were asked to come up with a plan of how they would send | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
astronauts 34 million miles to Mars and back. And it is full of new | :01:22. | :01:28. | |
ideas Lycra cycling week into drinking water and creating | :01:28. | :01:34. | |
artificial gravity by making the ship spin around. This project comes | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
at a time when space companies are planning their own missions to the | :01:37. | :01:42. | |
red planet and it is the distance that is the real challenge. This | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
model of the solar system which is part of the University of Manchester | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
shows how far the team would have to travel. It would take some nine | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
months to reach just the surface of Mars. The team would face many | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
dangers along the way. One of the main threats is radiation from the | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
sun. The spacecraft would need a shield to protect it from the heat | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
from solar storms. Lending would also be difficult. They would need | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
to make their own fuel to power the flight home. Why bother going at | :02:15. | :02:20. | |
all? Some people think the use of humans is something that is popular | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
and attractive and an adventure from an inspirational point of view but | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
there are also scientific benefits here. We are the most sophisticated | :02:28. | :02:34. | |
computer and robotic living organism you can imagine. This project is | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
only a concept and there are no plans to actually carry out the | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
mission. But with lots of new ideas thrown up, maybe we could see some | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
of them are used for real in the future. | :02:43. | :02:50. | |
Next, the royal baby might not have a name yet. But he has had some | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
special visitors today. The Queen and Prince Harry popped into | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
Kensington Palace to see the latest addition to the Royal Family. The | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
two-day-old Prince left hospital yesterday and is now thought to be | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
in Berkshire visiting his grandparents, the Middletons. On the | :03:02. | :03:05. | |

Paralympic Games, he's now the world champion, too. He out-sprinted his | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
American rival in a time of 10.99 seconds in the IPC World | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
Championships. Well, if that brings back brilliant memories of London | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
