0:00:09 > 0:00:11Good morning.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13Hi, I'm Hayley - and you're watching Newsround.
0:00:13 > 0:00:15Coming up in the next few minutes.
0:00:15 > 0:00:17Success for the world's most powerful rocket!
0:00:17 > 0:00:20What girls think about girls.
0:00:20 > 0:00:23Powerful.
0:00:23 > 0:00:24Independent.
0:00:24 > 0:00:25Equal to boys.
0:00:25 > 0:00:29And a nine-goal FA Cup thriller!
0:00:29 > 0:00:33Bases
0:00:35 > 0:00:39-- this is Newsround.
0:00:39 > 0:00:40Big news in the world of space travel.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43the most powerful rocket in the world - the Falcon Heavy -
0:00:43 > 0:00:45was successfully launched into space last night.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47Houston - run VT.
0:00:47 > 0:00:55Five, four, three, two, one, blastoff!
0:00:57 > 0:00:59It's taken seven years but, boys and girls, that is what
0:00:59 > 0:01:03you call a successful launch of the most powerful rocket ever built.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05The Falcon Heavy is the brainchild of SpaceX, the
0:01:05 > 0:01:07company run by South African Elon Musk.
0:01:07 > 0:01:08Never heard of him?
0:01:08 > 0:01:16Well, it's rumoured that Robert Downey Jr
0:01:17 > 0:01:22based the character Tony Stark, AKA Iron Man, on him.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25Kind of gives you an idea about the type of guy he is.
0:01:25 > 0:01:26Back to the rocket.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28It used 27 separate engines to launch it into
0:01:28 > 0:01:32space - that's around the same power as 18 Boeing 747 aeroplanes taking
0:01:32 > 0:01:35off, and twice as powerful as any other rocket in use at the minute.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38It means the Falcon Heavy can carry twice as much into space, 64 tonnes
0:01:38 > 0:01:39to be exact.
0:01:39 > 0:01:40That's basically five double-decker buses.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43It opens up the possibility for astronauts to travel
0:01:43 > 0:01:51further, and bigger robots to be sent to planets like Mars.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54On top of that, the boosters that the Falcon
0:01:54 > 0:01:58uses to power it into space are reusable.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00Once detached from the main body of the craft they should
0:02:00 > 0:02:02fly themselves back to Earth.
0:02:02 > 0:02:03Now, that is cool.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05So, who was lucky enough to be on the first flight?
0:02:05 > 0:02:07Well, no humans, unfortunately.
0:02:07 > 0:02:14You see, a lot of test flights can go wrong.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16But that's not to say the spaceship was empty.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Bring forth, Starman.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Yeah, that's a dummy riding a cherry red car to Mars,
0:02:21 > 0:02:26with the radio on, of course.
0:02:26 > 0:02:32Rescue teams are working hard to help people in Taiwan
0:02:32 > 0:02:33after a strong earthquake happened there.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Four people died and 200 others are hurt.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38Many buildings have been damage.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Hundreds of people had to sleep outside in the city
0:02:41 > 0:02:42of Hualien last night.
0:02:42 > 0:02:47A lot of things have changed in the UK since women fought
0:02:47 > 0:02:49for the right to vote 100 years ago.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52Back then, women weren't allowed to have a say in elections,
0:02:52 > 0:02:53and couldn't do certain jobs.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56So we wanted to know what you think about being a girl in 2018.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58What's the best thing about being a girl?
0:02:58 > 0:03:02You've got a strong mind.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04You can, like, go out shopping with my mates and have sleepovers.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06What can be difficult about being a girl?
0:03:06 > 0:03:08Sometimes people underestimate you.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11Sometimes a stereotype that a girl's supposed to look a certain
0:03:11 > 0:03:14way and dress a certain way, but not everyone wants to do the.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17way and dress a certain way, but not everyone wants to do that.
0:03:17 > 0:03:18People have higher expectations of girls
0:03:18 > 0:03:20than they do of boys.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24Do you think girls and boys are treated the same?
0:03:24 > 0:03:28No, especially like when you get older, boys get paid more
0:03:28 > 0:03:28than girls.
0:03:28 > 0:03:33Girls, I think, we can, like, boys are better at football.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36I think that in school girls and boys are
0:03:36 > 0:03:38treated the same because everybody should be equal in school.
0:03:38 > 0:03:42Boys and girls are the same, really.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44I don't think that there should be much difference.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Who are your female role models and why?
0:03:46 > 0:03:49Rosa Parks because she stood up for the equality of everyone.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Nicola Adams because she shows that sports isn't just for
0:03:51 > 0:03:52like boys and men.
0:03:52 > 0:03:53Finish the sentence.
0:03:53 > 0:03:54Girls are...
0:03:54 > 0:03:55Powerful.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58Mature and they don't give up on things.
0:03:58 > 0:03:59Independent.
0:03:59 > 0:04:05Equal to boys.

0:04:22 > 0:04:24It's looking more and more likely that Leicester midfielder
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Riyad Mahrez won't be involved in their Premier League match
0:04:27 > 0:04:29against Manchester City on Saturday.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31He's been hoping for a move to the League leaders

0:04:38 > 0:04:43A service took place at Old Trafford yesterday to mark 60
0:04:43 > 0:04:47years since an aeroplane, coming from the European Cup
0:04:47 > 0:04:49tie, crashed as it took off at Munich airport.
