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.
