  • Good morning.

  • Good morning, your Majesty.

  • And it's wonderful to be with you celebrating this year's British science Week.

  • So it was actually my birthday yesterday on the ninth of March.

  • But Yuri Gagarin, the first human to travel out into space, was also born on the ninth of March.

  • And I believe a man that you met him.

  • Can you tell us about that?

  • I did, indeed.

  • Yes.

  • Very interesting to meet him.

  • What was he like?

  • Russia?

  • English.

  • He was fascinating.

  • And I suppose, being the first one, it was particularly fascinating.

  • And this is looking into the distance on the Martian surface in the jet zero crater region where the Perseverance Rover has landed.

  • Yes, it is.

  • So this area, Your Majesty, is actually a crater that formed early in Mars's history, probably about four billion years ago.

  • That's been very interesting to hear.

  • And I hope the Children have enjoyed it too, because they might learn something from it as well.

  • I think it's fascinating to see the pictures of Mars unbelievable relative to think one can actually see it surface.

  • Well, it's been a very interesting morning.

  • Thank you very much, indeed.

Good morning.
