All right, yes, hello, hello, hello.

Welcome along.

It's a brand new episode of the Fun Kids Science Weekly.

This is the show where we take a trip to the most amazing, weird and wonderful places in the universe

and we try and get you back home within the hour. Now, my name is Dan. Hello. Thank you so

much for giving us a listen. Today, well, speaking of space, really, we'll hear about a planet

that is 20 light years away from Earth and it's very special because scientists think that it's

the most likely one

out there that could support life. We might go and live there one day if you don't mind getting

your face melted off in the process. Also, we'll talk about a brand new ape, and we'll hear from

an animal expert about why you're more like a rat than you think you are. It's kind of gross,

but it's fascinating.

It's on the way after we catch up with one of Fun Kids' favourite geniuses,

Sir Sidney McSprocket, our inventor,

who's here to tell us how some of the things that you use every day were made.

How's it made?

Oh, hello, Sir Sidney McSprocket here.

I've been in action capturing facts all about manufacturing.

It's for this rather splendid stipendary compendium I'm compiling.

You just ask it how something is made and it'll oblige with a fulsome explanation.
