We're here in Australia!
And we're gonna launch some rockets.
We're following
two teams of scientists here to study a special pair of stars
we can't see from most parts of the U.S.
They're part of the Alpha Centauri system,
the closest stars to us besides the Sun.
And with the help of NASA sounding rockets,
they'll capture light from those stars
that doesn't reach the ground,
and propel humanity's search
for habitable worlds into the future.
Yes!

Follow along as I go into the Outback
to show you what it takes to launch a rocket
and make groundbreaking scientific measurements.
There's a rocket in there.
Three,
two,
one.
[Screaming]
Hang on tight.
We're going on an adventure High Above Down Under!
