The Happy Pod: The opera singing rescue dog
Meet Georgia, the opera- singing rescue greyhound. Plus, Ed Dwight becomes the oldest person to go to space at 90. And the future of space travel designed by children.
We meet Georgia, the six-year-old singing greyhound, who was rescued from a life of racing by a family in Perth, Australia. She sings whilst her human 'big sister' plays the piano, and can even take on opera. She was adopted by the Albrow family three years ago, after she sustained an injury.
Decades after training, Ed Dwight becomes the oldest person to go to space at 90 years old. Meanwhile the spaceships of the future, imagined by children from around the world, have been flying over New York.
Also, we meet the man who spent 12 years fighting to save a forest from mining - and won. And, after seagull boy and lion girl - goat woman.
