Hello, my name is Dan. Welcome to the Fun Kids Science Weekly, where we do exactly what it says on the tin.

Every week we'll be learning about the smartest stuff in the sciencey sphere, I guess.

You can download it as a podcast for free through iTunes over on your phone and tablet on the Fun Kids app and at FunKidsLife.com.

And you can listen to it on your radio Saturday afternoons at 2 on Fun Kids.

Now, in today's show, we're talking about an element that

is one of the most deadly for humans, but some people still use it every day. That's in

Dangerous, Dan, a little bit later on. Also, we'll talk to two brothers who have invented a

brand new way that astronauts can travel through space. I can't wait to get them on in

just a sec. First, we're heading to school though. Not regular school though, don't panic, calm

yourself down and not with soggy sandwiches, scratchy uniforms and teachers who have forgotten

completely what are toothbrushes. No, no, no. This is an intergalactic school, and we need to jump through a wormhole

to get there. We're joining Principal Pulsar to learn all about spacemen who are getting ready

for a big mission, and they're riding something called the Vomit Comet. Yeah, strap yourselves in.

This is Deep Space High. Deep Space High.

The Universe Handbook with the Science and Technology Facilities Council.

Trimbing onto a workhole.

Travel to Deep Space High, the school in space.
