0:00:02 > 0:00:05Mission One, day 65.

0:00:05 > 0:00:08Today's menu - more space slop.

0:00:08 > 0:00:10Urgh!

0:00:10 > 0:00:12Ground control to Mission One, requesting update

0:00:12 > 0:00:15on Operation Space Grub, please.

0:00:15 > 0:00:19Oh, Colin, it's a disaster. Growing veggies in space isn't as easy

0:00:19 > 0:00:20as I thought.

0:00:20 > 0:00:23Oh, crumpets! That doesn't look good!

0:00:24 > 0:00:27Hello, my little space cadets!

0:00:27 > 0:00:28Hi!

0:00:28 > 0:00:30Still enjoying the food, are we?

0:00:30 > 0:00:32Is that a box of chocolates?!

0:00:32 > 0:00:35Oh, where are my manners?

0:00:35 > 0:00:36Would you like one?

0:00:38 > 0:00:39Oh, I'd love one!

0:00:39 > 0:00:41Delicious!

0:00:41 > 0:00:45Chocolate, sweet, sweet, flavoursome chocolate.

0:00:45 > 0:00:47SHE SALIVATES

0:00:47 > 0:00:48BELL RINGS

0:00:48 > 0:00:52Positions, you lot! We're live in space in ten, nine, eight...

0:00:52 > 0:00:53This is...

0:00:55 > 0:00:56..with...

0:01:01 > 0:01:02Colin, the floor manager!

0:01:06 > 0:01:08Stand by!

0:01:08 > 0:01:11Welcome to Brain Freeze in space!

0:01:11 > 0:01:13Three, two, one, it's time for...

0:01:17 > 0:01:18Today, we're asking....

0:01:20 > 0:01:22All plants with green leaves need

0:01:22 > 0:01:24three basic things to grow -

0:01:24 > 0:01:27water, carbon dioxide and sunlight.

0:01:27 > 0:01:30These elements are combined in a process called photosynthesis,

0:01:30 > 0:01:34to create glucose - a type of sugar which the plant uses for food.

0:01:34 > 0:01:38This process also produces one of the most important gases

0:01:38 > 0:01:40for us humans, oxygen.

0:01:41 > 0:01:46That's the stuff we need to breathe. See? I'm a scientist too. Hee-hee!

0:01:46 > 0:01:48Back after the break.

0:01:48 > 0:01:49And we're clear!

0:01:49 > 0:01:54OK, Mr Greenfingers, can you go through all that just one more time?

0:01:54 > 0:01:56- OK. So you've got water...- Check.

0:01:56 > 0:01:57..carbon dioxide...

0:01:59 > 0:02:00Check.

0:02:00 > 0:02:01..sunlight.

0:02:01 > 0:02:06- Oh, no!- Don't forget the sunray simulation unit, Professor.

0:02:06 > 0:02:09- Ha-ha, I know that, I was just testing you, Dr Knowles.- Ha!

0:02:09 > 0:02:10Ahem, check.

0:02:10 > 0:02:15Another chocolate, anyone? Let me see what's under here.

0:02:15 > 0:02:19You can't open the second layer before finishing the first!

0:02:19 > 0:02:22It's the rule! It's the only rule!

0:02:22 > 0:02:24BELL RINGS

0:02:24 > 0:02:26We're back in five, four, three...

0:02:30 > 0:02:34So, tell us, Dr Knowles, could pineapples grow on the moon?

0:02:34 > 0:02:36Early experiments have shown that

0:02:36 > 0:02:38lunar soil could support plant life.

0:02:38 > 0:02:39So, in theory, yes.

0:02:39 > 0:02:41But this could only happen in a

0:02:41 > 0:02:43scientifically controlled environment.

0:02:43 > 0:02:46However, it's possible that plants grown on other worlds

0:02:46 > 0:02:50may not even be green, depending on what kind of star they orbit.

0:02:50 > 0:02:53What? Black pineapples? Blue carrots?

0:02:53 > 0:02:57Next, it'll be gigantic turnips and flying asparagus

0:02:57 > 0:03:01and mutant space spuds that fire laser beams, and...

0:03:01 > 0:03:02Steady on there, Professor!

0:03:02 > 0:03:05Scientists still have a lot of research to do before you go

0:03:05 > 0:03:08planning your crazy space picnic.

0:03:08 > 0:03:10It'd make you appreciate planet Earth, all the same.

0:03:10 > 0:03:13Full of mountains and trees and rivers...

0:03:13 > 0:03:18And chocolate and strawberries and popcorn.

0:03:18 > 0:03:20SHE SALIVATES

0:03:20 > 0:03:21See you next time!

0:03:21 > 0:03:22And we're clear!

0:03:24 > 0:03:26McCork, look, we did it!

0:03:26 > 0:03:31One small leek for man, one giant meal for mankind!

0:03:31 > 0:03:32Ha-ha-ha!

0:03:32 > 0:03:33Let's tell Colin!

0:03:33 > 0:03:35Nom, nom...

0:03:35 > 0:03:38SHE GASPS What? Not you as well, Colin?!

0:03:38 > 0:03:40Um, it's not what it looks like...

0:03:40 > 0:03:42It's research!

0:03:42 > 0:03:45Delicious, tasty research!

0:03:45 > 0:03:46Urgh.

0:03:46 > 0:03:49Looks like we're stuck with squeezy cheesy turnip, again, McCork.

0:03:49 > 0:03:51I actually kind of like it.

0:03:51 > 0:03:52Argh!

0:04:02 > 0:04:04Aah!
