1
00:00:52,480 --> 00:00:59,510
do

2
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:21,990
normal

3
00:01:26,469 --> 00:01:24,230
and we're off

4
00:01:30,069 --> 00:01:26,479
ariane 5

5
00:01:33,030 --> 00:01:30,079
powering out into the night sky here at

6
00:01:35,749 --> 00:01:33,040
the guyanes space center

7
00:01:41,270 --> 00:01:35,759
that streak of gold

8
00:01:46,550 --> 00:01:43,990
just catching the sound of that now here

9
00:01:47,910 --> 00:01:46,560
15 kilometers from the pad as she flies

10
00:01:51,350 --> 00:01:47,920
over

11
00:01:54,870 --> 00:01:51,360
and atv george lemaitre is on its way

12
00:01:58,950 --> 00:01:54,880
destination our human outpost in space

13
00:02:02,469 --> 00:02:00,630
people in the viewing stations will have

14
00:02:05,510 --> 00:02:02,479
felt the ground shake i've sent

15
00:02:07,670 --> 00:02:05,520
charlotte out to go and watch the launch

16
00:02:10,070 --> 00:02:07,680
in real life rather than on the screens

17
00:02:12,790 --> 00:02:10,080
here so we'll wait to hear how she

18
00:02:14,630 --> 00:02:12,800
experienced it

19
00:02:15,430 --> 00:02:14,640
right now the boosters are doing all the

20
00:02:18,229 --> 00:02:15,440
work

21
00:02:21,750 --> 00:02:18,239
they're literally pushing us away from

22
00:02:25,750 --> 00:02:21,760
the earth's gravity

23
00:02:28,309 --> 00:02:25,760
that's what keeps us stuck to our planet

24
00:02:30,229 --> 00:02:28,319
makes it very difficult to leave as well

25
00:02:32,390 --> 00:02:30,239
and we may get lucky and see those

26
00:02:34,630 --> 00:02:32,400
boosters falling away

27
00:02:37,589 --> 00:02:34,640
there with the naked eye

28
00:02:39,830 --> 00:02:37,599
each one is burning two tons of

29
00:02:42,229 --> 00:02:39,840
propellant that's an awful lot of

30
00:02:44,390 --> 00:02:42,239
propellant per second

31
00:02:47,509 --> 00:02:44,400
two tons per second just to give you an

32
00:02:50,390 --> 00:02:47,519
idea if you filled your car

33
00:02:58,630 --> 00:02:50,400
once a week that's just about the amount

34
00:03:03,670 --> 00:03:00,710
and we did see them separating their

35
00:03:05,190 --> 00:03:03,680
superb site the boosters falling away

36
00:03:07,430 --> 00:03:05,200
and this

37
00:03:11,509 --> 00:03:07,440
ah there we go the two dots on either

38
00:03:16,470 --> 00:03:13,830
is the vulcan engine that you can see

39
00:03:18,710 --> 00:03:16,480
and those boosters falling back down

40
00:03:19,910 --> 00:03:18,720
we're shedding weight we don't need them

41
00:03:20,949 --> 00:03:19,920
anymore

42
00:03:24,789 --> 00:03:20,959
we're

43
00:03:27,030 --> 00:03:24,799
losing each stage of the vehicle

44
00:03:28,630 --> 00:03:27,040
once it's burnt up its fuel

45
00:03:30,550 --> 00:03:28,640
because of course the lighter we are the

46
00:03:32,309 --> 00:03:30,560
faster we go

47
00:03:34,789 --> 00:03:32,319
right now we've lost about three
