00:00:00,133 --> 00:00:03,470
Today, it continues
to drive photosynthesis,

2
00:00:03,470 --> 00:00:05,538
light our way and keep us warm.

3
00:00:05,538 --> 00:00:07,607
I'm Miles Hatfield, and in this episode,

4
00:00:07,607 --> 00:00:09,676
we're talking about living with a star.

5
00:00:19,586 --> 00:00:22,989
We've been putting together
this video series called

6
00:00:22,989 --> 00:00:24,124
“High Above Down Under,”

7
00:00:24,124 --> 00:00:27,894
that's all about us following
two rocket teams to Australia

8
00:00:27,894 --> 00:00:31,765
where they were going to be the first
launches from a brand new launch range.

9
00:00:31,765 --> 00:00:34,534
And we talk about the science
they were doing, but we also

10
00:00:34,534 --> 00:00:37,704
wanted to capture the experience of
what is it like to be in the field.

11
00:00:38,338 --> 00:00:41,941
So, Miles and I are both writers,
which means this was kind of our

12
00:00:41,941 --> 00:00:45,912
first time really delving
into the videography side of stuff,

13
00:00:45,912 --> 00:00:48,048
which was a challenging
and very rewarding

14
00:00:48,048 --> 00:00:49,282
learning curve.

15
00:00:51,718 --> 00:00:54,054
One of the cool things about
sounding rockets is that,

16
00:00:54,054 --> 00:00:57,991
you know, they launch up and
do their science up in space

17
00:00:57,991 --> 00:00:59,359
and then they fall back down.

18
00:00:59,359 --> 00:01:01,628
And so, you have to go 
recover the parts.

19
00:01:01,628 --> 00:01:05,432
So, you’re going to see a little bit
of us going out to do some of the recovery.

20
00:01:05,698 --> 00:01:08,301
Looks pretty expired to me.

21
00:01:08,535 --> 00:01:09,903
We wanted to have a lot of fun

22
00:01:09,903 --> 00:01:12,038
and we wanted that
to come across in the video.

23
00:01:12,372 --> 00:01:14,040
Earth is packed with life.

24
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:15,642
Earth is packed with life.

25
00:01:15,642 --> 00:01:18,011
Earth is packed with life.

27
00:01:20,180 --> 00:01:21,581
Earth is packed with life.

28
00:01:21,581 --> 00:01:22,549
Earth is packed with life.

29
00:01:22,549 --> 00:01:23,950
Earth is packed with life.

30
00:01:23,950 --> 00:01:26,086
Ahh! There's some life biting me right now.

31
00:01:29,689 --> 00:01:30,690
Why are you smiling?

32
00:01:32,926 --> 00:01:34,394
Because you're about to fly!

33
00:01:35,028 --> 00:01:38,131
We had a great time out in the field
recording all this video.

34
00:01:38,131 --> 00:01:40,867
Miles is out there getting bitten 
by ants while we’re recording,

35
00:01:40,867 --> 00:01:42,068
and there's spiders everywhere.

36
00:01:45,438 --> 00:01:46,840
That's just a terror.

37
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:48,041
That’s huge!

38
00:01:49,409 --> 00:01:53,313
But we're also getting to talk with
and hang out with all these amazing people,

39
00:01:53,313 --> 00:01:56,649
from the engineers to the scientists
to the people who helped

40
00:01:57,083 --> 00:02:00,553
make the rocket range
and all the local rangers who

41
00:02:00,553 --> 00:02:04,491
know all about the flora and fauna
and all the local history as well.

42
00:02:05,425 --> 00:02:07,694
It was a lot of fun filming this series

43
00:02:07,694 --> 00:02:09,429
and we hope you guys will enjoy it, too.
