A very good afternoon to you, you're watching Newsround with me, Joe. On

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

Paralympics GB. And not only did Jonnie Peacock win gold at the

Paralympic Games, he's now the world champion, too. He out-sprinted his

American rival in a time of 10.99 seconds in the IPC World
