Yesterday at the office we were all watching
it live.

SpaceX officially made history yesterday when
they successfully launched billionaire Elton

Musks electric Tesla Roadster into space on
board the Falcon Heavy rocket.

The Falcon Heavy took off from the Kennedy
Space Center in Cape Canaveral Florida just

It was set to launch 3 hours earlier but was
delayed by high winds.

The Falcon heavy is a monumental long-distance
rocket with an impressive array of 27 Merlin

engines and 3 reusable Falcon 9 boosters.

The rockets cargo bay can carry up to 60 tonnes
of material into Low Earth Orbit and up to

Shortly after breaching the atmosphere the
Falcon 9 boosters touched back down to earth

But this wasn't cheap- the Falcon heavy
launch cost 90 million dollars- while NASAs

planned SLS rocket Is expected to cost around
1 billion dollars per flight.

Mr Musk is the Space X founder and the mastermind
behind this space mission- hes hopeful this

voyage will pave the way for future manned
missions to mars.

About this launch Musk said- I had this image
of this giant explosion pad- with wheels bouncing

down the road and the logo landing somewhere
with a thud.

But fortunately that's not what happened-
Crazy things come true.

The car is now speeding towards the red planet
with David Bowies hit song Space Oddity playing

on loop- while a dummy in a space suit sits
in the drivers seat.

Before the stream cut out The car was last
seen on the live broadcast of the launch flying

over the breathtaking blue planet below it.

The projected path will bring the car close
to mars- there is also a small chance it may

But if it stays the course it will drift through
space for potentially millions of years.

This successful launch opens up a world of
possibilities.

Theres talks of building a new space station
above the moon- carrying new spy satellites-

and shuttling people to deep space destinations.

Its going to be interesting to see what comes
of this over the next few years.

--Next- 1 thousand 200 Olympic security guards
have been quarantined after a Norovirus outbreak.

Geez I didn't even know the Olympics had
so many security guards.

So the Olympics is literally kicking off tomorrow
and now the organization committee have to

The centers for disease control and prevention
say that Norovirus – causes inflammation

It results in diarrhea- vomiting- nausea and
stomach pain.

About this the organisation committee have
said- To address the shortfall in security

workforce due to the isolation 900 military
personnel have been deployed to take over

They will work across 20 venues until all
affected workforce are able to return to duty.

Surveys on tap water- the food preparation
staff- and food items are currently being

conducted to trace the route of transmission.

Also, unfortunately- the Olympics is the perfect
place for an outbreak and they most frequently

happen in places like nursing homes- hospitals-
prisons-colleges and cruise ships- basically

an environment that requires people to live
and eat in close quarters.

Precautionary measures are being taken but
hopefully they can find the cause before the

--Next- The worlds longest Zipline is officially
open to the public.

A lot of people are super excited about this-

of 90 miles per hour.

--Next- Im going to tell you about a very
clever 9 year old.

So this 9 year old is from San Diego and shes
a girl scout.

She somehow managed to sell 312 boxes of cookies
in just 6 hours.

Well she set up a stand outside a marijuana
dispensary.

Well it actually wasn't a stand- it was
basically her just selling them out of her

The dispensary even advertised that this girl
would be there cookies in tow to their clients

So either this is a really business savvy
9 year old or it was just dumb luck.

Either way she sold an insane amount of cookies.

I was a girl guide leader last year and I
can tell you that's really impressive.

--Next- speaking of treats all of you Kinder
chocolate fans get ready.

Several versions of the ice cream are being
released around the world and they look delicious.

The release date is yet to be given but its
probably going to be sometime in the summer.
