system's next milestone this is what

11
00:00:45,350 --> 00:00:43,280
we've said we wanted

12
00:00:47,029 --> 00:00:45,360
you know we wanted to have

13
00:00:49,430 --> 00:00:47,039
what we consider to be a viable

14
00:00:51,270 --> 00:00:49,440
commercial option to get cargo to the

15
00:00:52,630 --> 00:00:51,280
international space station the cygnus

16
00:00:54,470 --> 00:00:52,640
spacecraft that will fly to the space

17
00:00:55,670 --> 00:00:54,480
station has actually been fueled it's

18
00:00:57,830 --> 00:00:55,680
ready to be transferred into the

19
00:00:59,830 --> 00:00:57,840
horizontal integration facility and as

20
00:01:01,830 --> 00:00:59,840
soon as that rocket is ready to receive

21
00:01:03,270 --> 00:01:01,840
it we'll integrate the two together and

22
00:01:05,670 --> 00:01:03,280
it'll be ready to roll out to the pad

23
00:01:07,270 --> 00:01:05,680

00:03:10,229 --> 00:03:07,760
planets in their star's habitable zones

71
00:03:12,710 --> 00:03:10,239
a region where liquid water might exist

72
00:03:14,630 --> 00:03:12,720
on the planet's surface the smallest of

73
00:03:16,830 --> 00:03:14,640
the three is only forty percent larger

74
00:03:19,430 --> 00:03:16,840
than earth and most likely rocky in

75
00:03:22,869 --> 00:03:19,440
composition two of the planets orbit a

76
00:03:24,470 --> 00:03:22,879

00:05:00,950 --> 00:05:00,000
features previously hidden by gas and

116
00:05:03,350 --> 00:05:00,960
dust

117
00:05:05,350 --> 00:05:03,360
about 1500 light years away the

118
00:05:07,350 --> 00:05:05,360
horsehead lies in one of the closest and

119
00:05:09,990 --> 00:05:07,360
most commonly photographed regions of

120
00:05:11,990 --> 00:05:10,000
space where stars are actively forming

121
00:05:14,550 --> 00:05:12,000
the image is a preview of the infrared

122
00:05:16,950 --> 00:05:14,560
