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
