00:00:00,666 --> 00:00:07,686
[Countdown]

2
00:00:09,666 --> 00:00:12,536
We are the explorers.

3
00:00:12,536 --> 00:00:15,806
We have a need to find what is out there.

4
00:00:15,806 --> 00:00:18,826
It is a drive inside each and every one of us.

5
00:00:19,086 --> 00:00:23,336
The drive to wonder....to push
the boundaries ...and to explore.

6
00:00:23,336 --> 00:00:29,296
We expanded across our lands,
settling new frontiers.

7
00:00:29,916 --> 00:00:34,586
We took to the oceans and learned that
we could cross treacherous expanses

8
00:00:34,746 --> 00:00:36,296
in the pursuit of discovery.

9
00:00:37,036 --> 00:00:40,536
And then, we took to the skies and flew.

10
00:00:41,586 --> 00:00:42,706
But that wasn't enough.

11
00:00:43,416 --> 00:00:47,316
We left the planet...and
redefined what was possible.

12
00:00:49,486 --> 00:00:51,016
We flew in space.

13
00:00:51,436 --> 00:00:52,856
We walked in space.

14
00:00:54,586 --> 00:00:59,446
What once was a melodramatic
flight of fantasy...became reality.

15
00:01:01,526 --> 00:01:07,166
Then a new generation of spaceships captured
hearts and minds for three decades...

16
00:01:07,606 --> 00:01:12,786
and helped build a castle in the sky
that is our lasting home in space.

17
00:01:15,736 --> 00:01:17,426
We have always looked up.

18
00:01:18,046 --> 00:01:22,226
For centuries, we wondered what
was on the other side of the sky,

19
00:01:22,226 --> 00:01:25,996
and we have begun to answer that question.

20
00:01:26,116 --> 00:01:33,136
We have learned that all the exploration
humankind has achieved is only a beginning.

21
00:01:33,326 --> 00:01:36,226
Right now, men and women are
working on the next steps

22
00:01:36,286 --> 00:01:39,006
to go farther than we have ever gone before.

23
00:01:39,546 --> 00:01:44,246
New vessels will carry us and
new destinations await us.

24
00:01:45,416 --> 00:01:49,766
Everything we have ever accomplished
leads to this moment in time,

25
00:01:50,476 --> 00:01:55,196
where exploration will now take
us to the planets and the stars.

26
00:01:56,506 --> 00:02:00,146
Our nearest neighbors in the
night sky have beckoned us,

27
00:02:00,376 --> 00:02:03,376
invited us, dared us to reach for them.

28
00:02:05,766 --> 00:02:07,746
We are the explorers.

29
00:02:08,626 --> 00:02:14,706
Throughout our history, we have taken both
small steps and giant leaps in that pursuit.

30
00:02:16,596 --> 00:02:18,946
Our next destination awaits.
