1
00:00:00,100 --> 00:00:01,468
We're here in Australia!

2
00:00:01,468 --> 00:00:02,936
And we're gonna launch
some rockets.

3
00:00:05,372 --> 00:00:06,039
We're following

4
00:00:06,039 --> 00:00:09,275
two teams of scientists here
to study a special pair of stars

5
00:00:09,275 --> 00:00:11,478
we can't see from most
parts of the U.S.

6
00:00:14,314 --> 00:00:16,116
They're part of the Alpha
Centauri system,

7
00:00:16,116 --> 00:00:18,251
the closest stars to us
besides the Sun.

8
00:00:18,451 --> 00:00:20,387
And with the help of NASA
sounding rockets,

9
00:00:20,387 --> 00:00:21,888
they'll capture
light from those stars

10
00:00:21,888 --> 00:00:23,356
that doesn't reach the ground,

11
00:00:23,356 --> 00:00:24,724
and propel humanity's search

12
00:00:24,724 --> 00:00:26,493
for habitable worlds into
the future. 

13
00:00:26,493 --> 00:00:27,460
Yes!

14
00:00:27,460 --> 00:00:28,828
[Screaming]

15
00:00:28,895 --> 00:00:30,930
Follow along as I go
into the Outback

16
00:00:30,930 --> 00:00:32,832
to show you what it takes
to launch a rocket

17
00:00:32,832 --> 00:00:34,934
and make groundbreaking
scientific measurements.

18
00:00:36,970 --> 00:00:38,004
There's a rocket in there.

19
00:00:38,004 --> 00:00:39,072
Three,

20
00:00:39,072 --> 00:00:40,073
two, 

21
00:00:40,073 --> 00:00:40,940
one.

22
00:00:40,940 --> 00:00:41,741
[Screaming]

23
00:00:42,042 --> 00:00:43,043
Hang on tight.

24
00:00:43,043 --> 00:00:45,678
We're going on an adventure
High Above Down Under!
