:01:24. > :01:29.is, why doesn't space have any gravity? That is a great question.

:01:30. > :01:36.It is a little bit tricky for me to answer. We do have gravity appear.

:01:37. > :01:43.We almost have as much as on planet Earth but we are tricking planet

:01:44. > :01:48.Earth by travelling really fast. What an exciting day. I'm joined by

:01:54. > :02:02.Matthew, Oliver, and Chloe. Were you nervous? What question did you ask?

:02:03. > :02:06.I asked if there was a possibility of a meteor hitting the

:02:12. > :02:18.that I managed to answer it. Were you nervous or excited about your

:02:19. > :02:21.question? My question was what is your favourite experiment on board

:02:22. > :02:28.the International space Station? Is it a once in a lifetime experience.

:02:29. > :02:33.Not many people asked a question to a real-life astronaut up in space.

:02:34. > :02:42.Were you happy with your answer? Yes. Chloe, I know you were a bit

:02:43. > :02:47.nervous. How did you feel? I was excited. My question was why is

:02:57. > :02:57.been up there for six weeks and he has inspired lots of children up

:02:58. > :03:02.there today. Head over to the Newsround website

:03:03. > :03:05.to see more great stuff about Tim Peake's mission,

:03:06. > :03:07.including a spectacular snap of the UK taken from space,

:03:08. > :03:10.and the toy doll floating around Next to a man living

:03:11. > :03:14.in India who's built himself It's so amazing that his friends

:03:15. > :03:36.have decided to give him Meet the man known as iron man. He

:03:37. > :03:41.has built a bionic arm purely built from scrap metal. It looks like

:03:42. > :03:48.something you would see in a Star Wars movie. How did he come up with

:03:49. > :03:51.the idea? TRANSLATION: I have been obsessed with machines since

:03:52. > :03:58.childhood. I learned electrical engineering in high school. He

:03:59. > :04:04.spends his time fixing household electronics, like fridges, fans, and

:04:05. > :04:06.televisions. If he can build a bionic arm out of scrap, who knows

:04:07. > :04:13.what he will come up with yet. Next, take a look at this

:04:14. > :04:15.eagle in the Netherlands, which is being taught to hunt

:04:24. > :04:27.the drones as if they were a small Next how do you make

:04:28. > :04:30.a waterfall flow backwards? These waterfalls on the Isle

:04:31. > :04:35.of Mull usually tumble dramatically in to the sea,

:04:36. > :04:38.west of Scotland. But gale force winds caused

:04:39. > :04:40.by Storm Henry sent them flowing Now to a museum with a twist,

:04:41. > :04:47.around 300 statues have been placed 15 metres under the sea

:04:48. > :04:49.in the Canary Islands. The concrete statues

:04:50. > :05:00.are moulded from real people That's all from me, Newsround's back
