Science in the News kicks off this week's episode with a report on NASA's unmanned Orion capsule launch! Find out when NASA will put human beings back into space... and the James Webb space telescope found GL-z13, the most far away galaxy we've ever discovered!
Dan talks to Sir Tony Robinson about his involvement in a post-climate change survival game, and what Tony thinks we should do to progress society further to a more environmentally friendly way of living. Curious Kate talks to her brother Tom about how heating works, Santamory analyses the efficiency and structure of Santa's sleigh, and Dangerous Dan tells us about a particularly rough reptile... all that and more in this week's Science Weekly!

0:00.0 | Ahoy, hello, welcome along, it's the part of the week, where we travel all around the |
0:07.4 | universe keeping our ears, eyes and minds open to learn some of the secrets of science. |
0:13.5 | This is the fun kid science weekly, my name is Dan, thank you so much for being there |
0:16.9 | for going on this journey with me, this adventure all around the solar system discovering |
0:21.1 | those science secrets lurking within. This week, we'll hear more about the science |
0:25.9 | of Christmas just a few weeks away. We'll learn how Santa's sleigh gets to fly. |
0:33.0 | Simple physics dictates that a good flying sleigh is going to need some wings if you want |
0:38.1 | to visit all the children of the world in one night, not that sort of wings. |
0:42.8 | Also, we're speaking to an absolute legend on the show today, so excited to get him on |
0:47.4 | for you. Satoni Robinson is one of the country's most famous actors. He presented a show |

1:24.5 | Brilliant news to get us going. NASA's Orion capsule has splashed down after a 26-day |
1:30.4 | mission around the moon. It went over a million miles. The capsule had a fiery reentry through |
1:36.2 | the Earth's atmosphere before splashing down into the Pacific Ocean. Now, this was a test |
1:40.6 | flight with no people on board. It just went up there to almost scan the lunar surface |
1:46.5 | to see good places that we might go in the future. Now, that will change next time because |
