0:00:57 > 0:01:00Oh, there you go.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02Hello, I'm just feeding my fish.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Now he has everything he needs - food to eat,
0:01:05 > 0:01:08and there's plenty of room to swim about and exercise.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10RINGING
0:01:10 > 0:01:14I hear a beep, I see a flash, I wonder what they're going to ask.
0:01:20 > 0:01:21BOTH: Hi, Nina.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23Hi.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26We've got a question for you.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28What's it like to live in space?
0:01:28 > 0:01:30That's a great question.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32What is it like to live in space?
0:01:32 > 0:01:35We know what it's like to live here on Earth,
0:01:35 > 0:01:38I wonder what it'll be like to live in space,
0:01:38 > 0:01:39way up high above the sky.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43Why don't you come down to my workshop and we can investigate.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46BOTH: See you soon, Nina. Bye.
0:01:46 > 0:01:47Bye.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50I'm going to need some help to answer this one
0:01:50 > 0:01:52and I know who to ask.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54OK, Neurons, time to get to work.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11ALL: Neurons at the ready, Nina.
0:02:11 > 0:02:15Today's question is, what is it like to live in space?
0:02:15 > 0:02:17Which Neuron do you think would be most useful
0:02:17 > 0:02:19in helping us find the answer?
0:02:19 > 0:02:22ALL: Me! Me! Me! Me! Me!
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Will it be fabulous Felix?
0:02:25 > 0:02:28I can help so very much if you need the sense of touch.
0:02:28 > 0:02:30Will it be beautiful Belle?
0:02:30 > 0:02:33I send messages from brain to ear,
0:02:33 > 0:02:35if there's a sound I'll help you hear.
0:02:35 > 0:02:37Will it be lovely Luke?
0:02:37 > 0:02:39For looking and seeing day or night,
0:02:39 > 0:02:42I'll help you with your sense of sight.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44Will it be awesome Ollie?
0:02:44 > 0:02:47If it's pongy or whiffy but you can't tell,
0:02:47 > 0:02:49my messages help your sense of smell.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51Or will it be baby Bud?
0:02:51 > 0:02:53Sour, salty, bitter or sweet,
0:02:53 > 0:02:55I'm your taste buddy whenever you eat.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00It's Bud.
0:03:00 > 0:03:01Yippee!
0:03:02 > 0:03:06ALL: Go, Bud! Go, Bud!
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Give me a taste of the action, Nina.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16Today's question is, what is it like to live in space?
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Because we need food to live in space,
0:03:18 > 0:03:22Bud our taste neuron will be helping us today, but stand by, Neurons,
0:03:22 > 0:03:25I have a feeling I may need help from all of you.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29I need to get the workshop ready before the Explorers arrive.
0:03:29 > 0:03:34Flynn loves making mud pies and Evie loves her teddy Miss Margo.
0:03:34 > 0:03:38But they both want to know what is it like to live in space?
0:03:38 > 0:03:40How do I go to a toilet in space?
0:03:40 > 0:03:42What do astronauts eat?
0:03:44 > 0:03:49So for today for one day only Flynn and Evie become the Explorers!
0:03:55 > 0:03:56Hi, guys.
0:03:56 > 0:03:57BOTH: Hi, Nina.
0:03:57 > 0:04:01Welcome to my workshop and thank you for your great question,
0:04:01 > 0:04:03what is it like to live in space?
0:04:03 > 0:04:07To find out the answer let's start by using our senses.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10ALL: Woo-hoo! A senses experiment. We're ready, Nina.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Here we have some space food.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16It's food that was made for astronauts to eat in space.
0:04:16 > 0:04:19Let's taste it and see if we can guess what it is.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Mmm.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36Can you guess what these are, Explorers?
0:04:36 > 0:04:38- BOTH: Strawberries. - Yes.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Well done, they are strawberries. What about this one?
0:04:41 > 0:04:42Ice cream.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46Yes, it tastes like ice cream and it is ice cream.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48It just looks a bit different.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51- BUD:- Ice cream! I love ice cream!
0:04:51 > 0:04:54Astronauts are the people who go up into space
0:04:54 > 0:04:56and they can be in space for a few months
0:04:56 > 0:04:58and there are no supermarkets up there,
0:04:58 > 0:05:01they need to take all of their food with them.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05And they have to keep it fresh so it doesn't go mouldy.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Imagine all the food you eat in a few months.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10- That's a lot of food, Nina. - It is, Belle,
0:05:10 > 0:05:13but eating food in space can be quite difficult.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Do you know why?
0:05:15 > 0:05:16Cos things float.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19That's right, things float in space.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Because there's less gravity
0:05:21 > 0:05:23and gravity is what keeps us on the ground.
0:05:23 > 0:05:26So let's have a look at some astronauts eating food
0:05:26 > 0:05:29that's floating around in space.
0:05:38 > 0:05:39That looks like fun.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43It does, but you need to be very careful when you eat in space -
0:05:43 > 0:05:47you wouldn't want any crumbs to float about, would you?
0:05:47 > 0:05:51Now let's find out what it's like to eat moving food.
0:05:51 > 0:05:52Come with me.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58Here we have two apples hanging from some line
0:05:58 > 0:06:01and they're a bit like food floating in space.
0:06:01 > 0:06:06Let's see if you can eat the apples without using your hands.
0:06:06 > 0:06:09OK, go!
0:06:22 > 0:06:25And stop there.
0:06:25 > 0:06:26Well done, Explorers,
0:06:26 > 0:06:30it's definitely harder to eat food that's moving around.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32What else do we need to live in space?
0:06:32 > 0:06:34That's a good question.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36Why don't we go somewhere fun to find out.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Where do you think we're going today?
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Nina said it was somewhere fun.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48Oh, I hope we're going to a space supermarket
0:06:48 > 0:06:50for some more space ice cream.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53There aren't any shops in space, Bud.
0:06:53 > 0:06:55It looks like we're here, Neurons.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58We're here at the Euro Space Centre in Belgium
0:06:58 > 0:07:03so we can explore some of the things astronauts need to live in space.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06- Shall we go exploring? - BOTH: Yay!- Let's go.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10Wow, a space shuttle.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22We can pretend to fly it.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35Let's pretend we're in space.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49And this is a space toilet.
0:07:54 > 0:07:55Wow, that was great fun.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58I liked the space toilet best, Nina.
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Yeah, and you need to be very careful when you go to the toilet
0:08:01 > 0:08:04because you don't want anything to float around.
0:08:04 > 0:08:08Eurgh! That would be yucky, Nina.
0:08:08 > 0:08:09Yes, Bud.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12And people float around in space, too.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15This is an anti-gravity harness.
0:08:15 > 0:08:19Gravity is what stops us from floating around when we're on Earth.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23And this harness will make us feel a bit like we're in space.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27First of all let's see how high we can jump on our own.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29Three, two, one, jump.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31And again.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35Now let's try it with the harness on.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48That's it.
0:08:48 > 0:08:49Ha-ha!
0:08:53 > 0:08:54That's brilliant.
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Blast off! Woo!
0:09:05 > 0:09:08Was it easier to jump with or without the harness?
0:09:08 > 0:09:11- With the harness. - That's right.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14And because astronauts actually float in space
0:09:14 > 0:09:16it's much harder for them to stay fit.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18What else do we need to live in space?
0:09:18 > 0:09:22There's one more important thing we need in space,
0:09:22 > 0:09:26let's go and meet someone who's been in to space to find out. This way.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30So you asked, what is it like to live in space?
0:09:30 > 0:09:35And there's one more important thing that we need to live in space
0:09:35 > 0:09:38and there's someone here that can show us what that is.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42- Hello, Rick. - Hello.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Explorers, this is Rick Hieb.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47Can you guess what Rick does?
0:09:47 > 0:09:49Astronaut.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51That's right. Rick is an astronaut.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54He's been trained to live in space.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57In fact, Rick has been into space three times.
0:09:57 > 0:09:58BOTH: Wow!
0:09:58 > 0:10:03Rick's space suit, the one that he wore in space is back in America,
0:10:03 > 0:10:06but we've got one here that looks very similar.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Space suits are really important.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13Without them I wouldn't be able to live in space.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16Here on Earth we have air all around us,
0:10:16 > 0:10:18but in space there isn't any air.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21Space ships need to take air with them so people can breath.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24If an astronaut goes outside of the space ship,
0:10:24 > 0:10:27they need to take air with them too.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30- Can you show us how it works, please, Rick.- Absolutely.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33In the back there's a tank with our breathing air in it.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37We have to have the air to breathe. And the helmet closes,
0:10:37 > 0:10:40so when the air comes inside the space suit we can breath
0:10:40 > 0:10:43so it doesn't all leak out into space.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46Space suits also stop astronauts from getting sun burn.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49The visor is like wearing a giant pair of sunglasses.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Thank you very much, Rick, bye.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56- ALL: Bye. - Bye-bye.
0:11:02 > 0:11:06Explorers, I think it's time for you to put on your very own space suits.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10You're dressed as astronauts,
0:11:10 > 0:11:14so let's pretend this is your space ship.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16I'd like you to do some repairs to the space ship
0:11:16 > 0:11:19because some of the tubes have broken
0:11:19 > 0:11:23and I've got some blocks here that need to go on the outside.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25Off you go, Explorers.
0:11:32 > 0:11:33Good.
0:11:47 > 0:11:48Yay!
0:11:48 > 0:11:50Well done, Explorers,
0:11:50 > 0:11:54it's really difficult to move in those big suits
0:11:54 > 0:11:57and it's much harder to move your hands with those big gloves.
0:11:57 > 0:12:01A bit like if you try to do your coat up with gloves on.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03- Very difficult. - That's right, Felix.
0:12:07 > 0:12:11You asked what is it like to live in space?
0:12:11 > 0:12:13And I think we've answered it.
0:12:13 > 0:12:17We discovered astronauts need to take food into space.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20I loved trying the space ice cream.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23The food is often dry and feels a bit funny.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27We found out that in space things float around,
0:12:27 > 0:12:29so it's difficult to eat.
0:12:29 > 0:12:30Astronauts float, too.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34Astronauts need to take air with them to breathe in space.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37I hope that's answered your question.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40ALL: Thanks, Nina. Bye.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42You're welcome, bye.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50If you want to know more about the science that's all around us
0:12:50 > 0:12:54go to the Nina section on the CBeebies website. Have fun.
