the same thing as a earth and from that we had a hypothesis that the moon was formed when another proto planet collided with the earth in the early solar system and from all of the debris in uniformed, so with this artemis mission the idea is we go back and test that hypothesis further. the moon is essentially a fossil of the records of the solar system, so what did the earth and human experience in terms of impacts? all those craters are still preserved on the moon because there is no weather there and all the radiation from the sun that has hit it over the last 11.5 billion years is also recorded on the moon s service, so there is lots of science we can do by sending humans to the moon. there are those who argue we can do that science with just probes and robots, there is also a political reason for going back to the moon with nasa as well, but for me it is all about what are we going to learn about our solar system and our place and it? you to learn about our solar system and our p
that, you have the livelihoods, a lot of the people who have suffered from this are some of the most vulnerable and poorest people within pakistan, which are relying upon in terms of agricultural, livestock and a lot of those livestock, those animals have been completely killed off drowned in the floods, so they are kind of desperate for any kind of help. i think this is a disaster which, in terms of the size of it, it is immense. i think a life and death situation for many people in pakistan, the most vulnerable people in pakistan. bud pakistan, the most vulnerable people in pakistan. , ., ., ., in pakistan. and you mentioned that death toll of in pakistan. and you mentioned that death toll of 1000 in pakistan. and you mentioned that death toll of 1000 so in pakistan. and you mentioned that death toll of 1000 so far. in pakistan. and you mentioned that death toll of 1000 so far. do - in pakistan. and you mentioned that death toll of 1000 so far. do you - death toll of 1000 s
some live pictures from the scene right now. huge disappointment, really, with nasser cancelling artemis i. the window for the launch had begun about half an hour ago, but the us space agency said one of its engines had developed a bleed, which could not be fixed in time. let s talk to dr becky smethurst, astrophysicist at the university of oxford and author of. a brief history of black holes, which will be available on thursday. thank you for being with us. a bit of a black hole here because we have a four day wait until the next opportunity for launch?- opportunity for launch? yes, unfortunately, opportunity for launch? yes, unfortunately, so opportunity for launch? yes, unfortunately, so you - opportunity for launch? yes, unfortunately, so you have l opportunity for launch? yes, l unfortunately, so you have got opportunity for launch? 133 unfortunately, so you have got to remember this is a brand new rocket that nasa have developed for the artemis programme to take humans back t
