1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,200 CARL SAGAN “Space Telescope is a kind of grand intellectual  adventure, for all of us, which will  2 00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:16,640 cast light not just on the  cosmos but also on ourselves.”  3 00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:21,040 Exploration is hardwired into our brains. 4 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:25,520 And when we see the horizon, we  want to know what’s beyond it. 5 00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:30,000 We want to break the barriers, we want to make the unknown known,  6 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:37,600 because our curious nature propels us forward. Looking up beyond the moon and the stars, past  7 00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:42,880 our own Milky Way Galaxy, and deep  into the corners of our universe.  8 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:47,210 Generations before our own could only wonder  what we might see veiled 9 00:00:47,210 --> 00:00:49,860 above our murky atmosphere. 10 00:00:49,860 --> 00:00:52,189 They drafted plans, laid out the framework 11 00:00:52,189 --> 00:00:58,640 that would uncover the truths hidden in the space around us once thought to only be science fiction.  12 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,360 STORY MUSGRAVE: "We’re gonna have to move out on the EVA." 13 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,150 And in the face of difficulty and setbacks... 14 00:01:04,150 --> 00:01:06,778 DOUGLAS BROOME: "There’s a significant spherical aberration." 15 00:01:06,778 --> 00:01:10,987 DR. JOHN CAMPBELL: "The fourth of six gyros that are onboard Hubble, failed." 16 00:01:10,987 --> 00:01:14,584 SM3B ASTRONAUT: "Monitoring John’s suit and there’s a large bit of water down here." 17 00:01:14,584 --> 00:01:22,560 They kept fighting and now we continue - unrelenting.  18 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:26,080 We desire to keep pushing the  limits of the unattainable.  19 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,560 And with every discovery, every  encounter with the heavens,  20 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:33,520 we begin to scratch the surface of  what it means to truly be human.  21 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,320 We keep exploring to know  what is outside of our galaxy,  22 00:01:36,320 --> 00:01:43,418 but also what is inside of each and every one of us. 23 00:01:43,418 --> 00:01:44,480 And we won’t stop,  24 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:48,000 we won’t be satisfied with  what-ifs, or possibilities,  25 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:55,840 because we have been given a  taste too sweet to ignore.  26 00:01:55,840 --> 00:02:04,000 Grasping at the stars within an arm's reach,  and mapping the space balancing between.  27 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:12,240 Observing the nature of the unusual, diving deep into the fabric of our universe.  28 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:20,800 Being witnesses to gloriously painted galaxies,  and the spectacular birth of new stars.  29 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:29,040 Now, all within the possible, the  conceivable, and the believable.  30 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,920 And still, with that, a more glorious dawn awaits,  31 00:02:31,920 --> 00:02:38,160 pushing back the frontiers of our explored space. Our mission is not to supplement our present ideas   32 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:49,840 of the universe we live in, but rather to uncover new phenomena not yet imagined.
