:00:25. > :00:30.The European Space Agency probe, Rosetta, will become the first

:00:31. > :00:35.man-made object in history to travel round the 10,000 mph comet,

:00:36. > :00:49.Very soon the Rosetta spacecraft will begin to orbit this, and then

:00:50. > :00:54.spend the next months analysing what it is made from. Its mission is to

:00:55. > :00:59.find out whether the, kick start of life on planet Earth. Comets

:01:00. > :01:05.scattered across the early Earth 4.5 alien years ago, bringing water and

:01:06. > :01:10.possibly some of the ingredients for life. Scientists believe those

:01:11. > :01:15.ingredients mixed to create the chemicals from which life may have

:01:53. > :01:54.see what it is made up and whether comets hold the key to how life

:01:55. > :01:57.began on Earth. Well, sticking with space,

:01:58. > :01:59.China is considering mining Last year the Chinese became the

:02:00. > :02:04.first country in 40 years to land And now the scientists

:02:05. > :02:07.behind the project say removing a rare lunar gas called helium-3

:02:08. > :02:10.could help provide enough energy to Scientists here say it could

:02:11. > :02:18.be possible within decades. In other news,

:02:19. > :02:20.the British government says it will look into whether Bitcoin could be
