in the soviet union to become a 3rd country to have a rube a touchdown on the red planet of the 6 wheeled jurong is named after the got a fire engine chinese mythology descended from a craft that has been orbiting mars since february it is china's most ambitious space mission so far well john horner is professor of astrophysics at the university of southern queensland institute for advance engineering and space sciences he says such missions don't just excite scientists and spy people. person you will be doing is checking that everything's ok that comes from the cut down 2nd sound of the little number not top of the one that it's not there of and they'll map out the area and they'll make sure they know exactly where they are out of the next few days so get ready for the rather to roll down around off the land and start exploring the fall goes well within a few days itself the out on the surface actually taking measurements driving round of mounds it's simply the truth that they can do that so there's a lot of things that's very similar in a way to the ingenuity helicopter that the americans have that part of it is simply

proving that you've got a hostage to do this to prepare for future missions but on top of that he's going to do with huge amount of science it's going to look at the geology of the area look for evidence of past water current water still in the interior of mars or got it really on bush's program a science particularly accept for the 1st time that they're being smart that kind of trying to do everything all at once it inspires people and that's always something that much affects countries that are things like this it develops new technology and that also is really useful that new technology that trickles down into everyday life but in the long term china's looking in a very similar way to the u.s. of sending people out into space that loving people on the moon and then further into the future sending people to mars and sending people out into the solar system as a whole and so this is one step along that route such as scientists it's really exciting because of the things we can learn but i think it's a cycle it's also really cool because it's a step along the road to actually human exploration an opponent presents for people in space beyond the. now adult charters has seemingly found wild birds joining the

10:29 am
say they have found enough evidence to confirm that there's more interaction between birds and humans than we might expect. i think that all the. research or how the slab of corn found that birds generally copy sounds of other animals but also human sounds especially when these are unusual possibly frightening them and what we believe and that is not proven but rather believe is that in many of those species the bigger the repertoire the more attractive these males are i mean that sense if you can show off with some really strange sounds in your repertoire you may become really attractive although well we need still need to prove that with some cool slogan about. no justice no peace exactly so you get the particular type of female that is interested in that. scientists also found that birds still saying these unusual songs long after they heard them so even if. protest will be silence and if the 1st people will be silence and squares are swept
