Good morning, Ricky here with Newsround on this | :00:25. | :00:31. | |
You can see the crowds that waved off British Astronaut Tim Peake | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
and the other two astronauts as they left their hotel in | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
In less than three hours, Tim will make history and will be | :00:41. | :00:47. | |
on his way to the International Space Station. | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
He's about to board a bus to the 50-metre rocket, | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
its engines will roar into action at 11am, | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
the boosters will flare and the three man crew | :00:59. | :01:00. | |
Ayshah's at Tim Peake's old primary school in Sutton in Greater London | :01:01. | :01:06. | |
with some of the pupils who're watching the launch later. | :01:07. | :01:12. | |
It's launch day. We are so ridiculously excited. Nowhere more | :01:13. | :01:20. | |
so than Tim Peak's old primary school. He's walked the very halls. | :01:21. | :01:28. | |
Exciting stuff. Big celebrations. They've been here since 6 o'clock | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
this morning. I've some kids with me right now, pupils at this school. | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
How excited are you that Tim's from this school? Really excited, it's | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
really inspiring because he walked in our classrooms and he sat there | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
and he went in the hall, and now he's the first British man to go in | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
the International Space Station which is really cool. It's very | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
cool. How are you feeling about it? Really excited. The fact that he's | :01:52. | :01:58. | |
going into space is amazing. Has it inspired you to be an astronaut. No, | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
but it's inspired me to aim high and to go for goals. | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
Great stuff. What do you think is the most thing that you are most | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
excited ability? The opening of the gates. What are you most excited | :02:13. | :02:24. | |
about? The launch. I'll be here watching at about 11 o'clock with | :02:25. | :02:26. | |
this lot. See you then. The BBC's Sarah Rainsford | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
is at the launch site and just He's already arrived at the dream. | :02:31. | :02:47. | |
He sent tweets saying he's good to go for the mission. In the next half | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
hour, he'll be putting on his space suit and saying his farewells to his | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
family. Heading here for the launch pad behind me where the Soyuz rocket | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
is already in place. Once up there, he says he'll carry out more than | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
265 experiments, hoping to inspire a generation of scientists for the | :03:08. | :03:08. | |
future. Tim has been underwater for hours to | :03:09. | :03:27. | |
prepare for space walks. Tim hopes his mission can inspire kids to | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
become astronauts and space scientists in the future, but where | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
did the fascination for space exploration start? This is the first | :03:35. | :03:41. | |
rocket to reach the boundary of space. The German spaceship | :03:42. | :03:49. | |
travelled into the atmosphere. No-one knew how the human body would | :03:50. | :03:56. | |
react in space, so in 1947, tests were carried out. Two years later, a | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
monkey called Albert flew into space. Further animals followed | :04:02. | :04:07. | |
until 1957 when Russia launched the first satellite to orbit around the | :04:08. | :04:17. | |
earth. It was called a Sputnik I. There was a battle to get the first | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
spacecraft on the moon between the Americans and the Russians. The | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
Russians put the first man into space, Uri goo Guarin. Russia were | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
winning the race so the US President, JFK made a promise. I | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
believe this makes should achieve the goal before the decade is out, | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the earth. | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
-- Gagarin. A robot spaceship landed on the moon in 1966 and sent amazing | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
photos back. These pictures helped scientists work out how men could | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
land safely there. Finally they made it. In 1969, America's Apollo 11 | :04:56. | :05:02. | |
blasted off, flying 250,000 miles to the moon. | :05:03. | :05:11. | |
One small step for man... Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin made | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
history. Lots of missions followed, the Americans landed a special car | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
to explore the surface. Since then, the fascination with space has grown | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
and technology's getting better every day. | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
There have been robots on Mars, a probe's been landed on a comet to | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
take photos of distant moons and planets in the far-reaches. We've | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
developed shuttles that have travelled at 17,000mph and built the | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
International Space Station that's orbited our planet for 15 years. | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
That's where Major Tim Peak will carry out experts, to try to inspire | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
children to become astronauts and scientists in the future when it's | :05:52. | :05:55. | |
hoped people will one day be able to visit other planets like Mars. | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
Head over to the Newsround website, to find out minute by minute | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
