0:00:07 > 0:00:08Hiya, I'm Ayshah.

0:00:08 > 0:00:10Loads on Newsround today, including:

0:00:10 > 0:00:17Blast off for the world's most powerful rocket.

0:00:17 > 0:00:19>>Come on, the amber army!

0:00:19 > 0:00:21Could Newport County make history in the FA Cup?

0:00:21 > 0:00:29And a beetle's eaten by a frog - but survives!

0:00:32 > 0:00:33Let's start with exciting space news.

0:00:33 > 0:00:36Some people weren't sure if it would work,

0:00:36 > 0:00:39but last night the world's most powerful rocket, the Falcon Heavy,

0:00:39 > 0:00:42successfully launched for the very first time.

0:00:42 > 0:00:46But it now seems all didn't go as smoothly as planned.

0:00:46 > 0:00:47Watch this.

0:00:47 > 0:00:51Five, four, three, two, one...

0:00:51 > 0:00:54This was the incredible moment the most powerful rocket ever built

0:00:54 > 0:01:01blasted off into space.

0:01:01 > 0:01:03It's been created by a company called SpaceX.

0:01:03 > 0:01:0727 separate engines were needed to launch it.

0:01:07 > 0:01:13That's around the same power as 18 Boeing 747 aeroplanes taking off,

0:01:13 > 0:01:18and twice as powerful as any other rocket being used right now.

0:01:18 > 0:01:22It means the Falcon Heavy can carry twice as much into space -

0:01:22 > 0:01:2564 tonnes, to be exact.

0:01:25 > 0:01:29That's basically five double-decker buses.

0:01:29 > 0:01:32It could mean astronauts can travel further, and bigger robots can be

0:01:32 > 0:01:35sent to planets like Mars.

0:01:35 > 0:01:39But the boss of the company, South African billionaire Elon Musk,

0:01:39 > 0:01:41says not everything went to plan.

0:01:41 > 0:01:45The boosters the Falcon uses to get into space are meant to be reusable.

0:01:45 > 0:01:48Once they come away from the rocket, they should have flown

0:01:48 > 0:01:50themselves back to Earth.

0:01:50 > 0:01:53Well, two landed perfectly at touchdown zones in Florida,

0:01:53 > 0:01:57but the third, which was meant to land on a drone ship out at sea,

0:01:57 > 0:02:02missed and crashed into water.

0:02:02 > 0:02:04That's the thing with test flights, they don't always go perfectly,

0:02:04 > 0:02:07and that's why there weren't any people on board.

0:02:07 > 0:02:10But that doesn't mean the spaceship was empty.

0:02:10 > 0:02:12Enter Starman.

0:02:12 > 0:02:16Yeah, a dummy riding Elon Musk's own red sports car

0:02:16 > 0:02:18to Mars, with the radio on.

0:02:18 > 0:02:20Of course.

0:02:20 > 0:02:23They could be on a journey around the sun for hundreds

0:02:23 > 0:02:25of millions of years.

0:02:25 > 0:02:28Wow!

0:02:28 > 0:02:30Now introducing Cheddar Man!

0:02:30 > 0:02:31He lived around 10,000 years ago

0:02:31 > 0:02:34and got his name because he was found in Cheddar Gorge

0:02:34 > 0:02:37in Somerset more than 120 years ago.

0:02:37 > 0:02:41But now scientists have new, special technology so they can work out

0:02:41 > 0:02:42what he looked like.

0:02:42 > 0:02:45He had much darker skin than researchers first thought,

0:02:45 > 0:02:50and he had blue eyes.

0:02:50 > 0:02:54Fancy a ride?

0:02:54 > 0:02:56This is the world s first Driverless Drone.

0:02:56 > 0:03:04Passengers get in, belt up and let the drone do

0:03:04 > 0:03:06It s called Elhang 184 - catchy - and it s

0:03:06 > 0:03:07being tested in China.

0:03:07 > 0:03:10Dubai says it wants to use them as taxis but the makers

0:03:10 > 0:03:13think they d be useful for the emergency services too.

0:03:13 > 0:03:15Now it's a huge night for Newport County fans.

0:03:15 > 0:03:17They're in League 2 and tonight play Premier League side

0:03:17 > 0:03:19Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley for their FA Cup

0:03:20 > 0:03:22In the first game, the two sides drew 1-1.

0:03:56 > 0:03:58It will feel great to win because Newport County

0:03:58 > 0:04:01are my favourite team and they've been able to beat

0:04:01 > 0:04:02a Premier League side.

0:04:02 > 0:04:05I think Newport County are the best team in the world.

0:04:05 > 0:04:07I've never been to Wembley before, so this is going to be

0:04:07 > 0:04:10an exciting day for me.

0:04:10 > 0:04:13Come on, County, you've got this.

0:04:13 > 0:04:15Now get ready for something really gross!

0:04:15 > 0:04:18Whitney's got this.

0:04:18 > 0:04:20This toad eats this beetle, but then you'll never guess...

0:04:20 > 0:04:2788 minutes later...

0:04:27 > 0:04:28Bleurgh!

0:04:28 > 0:04:31The beetle comes back!

0:04:31 > 0:04:34Let's see that again, in slo-mo!

0:04:34 > 0:04:37The beetle produces an explosion of hot chemicals that upset

0:04:37 > 0:04:40the toads' stomachs.

0:04:40 > 0:04:44It makes the frog sick and out comes the beetle.

0:04:44 > 0:04:46Both were totally fine.

0:04:46 > 0:04:51Sorry if you were eating your dinner!

0:04:51 > 0:04:55No frogs or beetles were hurt in that film.

0:04:55 > 0:04:56That's it from Newsround.

0:04:56 > 0:04:59See you tomorrow.
