Daniel walks in the studio.

Daniel is in his twenties, with short curly brown hair and wears glasses, black sweatpants, and a gray and blue hooded TVO Kids sweatshirt.

He says WELCOME TO TVO K NEWS.
I'M YOUR NEWS ANCHOR, DANIEL,
AND THIS IS WHAT'S HAPPENING.

On a screen behind him appears a picture of the moon with the caption "Beyond the moon."

Daniel says EVER WANTED TO GO TO THE MOON?
HOW ABOUT MARS?
WELL, YOU BETTER WORK EXTRA HARD
ON YOUR SCIENCE HOMEWORK.
LAST WEEK,
PRIME MINISTER TRUDEAU
ANNOUNCED THAT CANADA WILL JOIN
AN INTERNATIONAL PROJECT
THAT WILL SEND ASTRONAUTS
TO THE MOON AND BEYOND:
TO MARS!
THE PROJECT IS KNOWN AS
THE LUNAR GATEWAY
AND IT WILL BE A LIVING
AND WORKING STATION
FOR ASTRONAUTS
ORBITING THE MOON.
ULTIMATELY,
THIS GATEWAY WILL BE USED
AS A HALFWAY POINT
FOR MISSIONS TO MARS.
HOW COOL IS THAT?
NOW, CANADA WILL CONTRIBUTE
A ROBOTIC ARM
CALLED THE CANADARM 3
WHICH WILL PROVIDE
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS
TO THE LUNAR OUTPOST.
THIS WILL BE THE THIRD
ROBOTIC ARM
THAT CANADA HAS CONTRIBUTED
TO SPACE EXPLORATION.
THE FIRST ARM WAS PART OF
THE SPACE SHUTTLES
AND THE SECOND HELPED BUILD THE
INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION.
IT'S SUPER EXCITING THAT CANADA
IS PART OF THIS PROJECT
BECAUSE AS PRIME MINISTER
TRUDEAU SAID
OUR CANADIAN ASTRONAUTS
WILL HAVE ACCESS TO
NEW SPACE MISSIONS,
INSPIRING GENERATIONS TO COME.
THAT COULD INCLUDE YOU!
THE LUNAR GATEWAY IS PLANNED
TO ORBIT THE MOON IN 2022
WITH ASTRONAUTS LIVING
AND WORKING ONBOARD
A FEW YEARS LATER.
SO, LIKE I SAID,
WORK EXTRA HARD ON
YOUR SCIENCE HOMEWORK
BECAUSE MAYBE ONE DAY YOU'LL BE
ON A MISSION TO MARS.
STAY TUNED FOR MORE TVO K NEWS
COMING UP NEXT.
