00:00:49.780 --> 00:00:51.780
Enough.

00:00:51.780 --> 00:00:53.320
Walk with me.

00:00:55.359 --> 00:00:58.719
Perhaps we should find you something a little less challenging.

00:00:58.740 --> 00:01:02.020
I don't understand, I planned everything.

00:01:02.020 --> 00:01:04.019
Let me do it again.

00:01:14.780 --> 00:01:17.620
Once upon a time... Really?

00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:20.679
This is a good one, I promise.

00:01:22.739 --> 00:01:25.439
What is the key to life on Earth?

00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:27.079
Water.

00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:29.480
Water.

00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:52.159
For a long time the origins of water and indeed life on our home planet remained an absolute mystery.

00:01:52.239 --> 00:01:59.359
So we began searching for answers beyond Earth. "Where could all this water have come from?"

00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:02.420
In time we turned to comets,

00:02:02.420 --> 00:02:10.960
one trillion celestial balls of ice, dust, complex molecules, left over from the birth of our Solar System

00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:17.360
Once thought of as messengers of doom and destruction and yet so enchanting, if we were to catch one,

00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:22.260
A staggeringly ambitious plan.

00:02:22.259 --> 00:02:24.379
Are you talking about the Rosetta mission?

00:02:25.240 --> 00:02:27.280
Throw me the probe.

00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:40.360
We harnessed whole planets and their gravity to chase down a comet

00:02:46.139 --> 00:02:48.599
So many things could've gone wrong

00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:55.319
A failure at launch, an error in the calculations, collisions, so many unknowns.

00:02:56.159 --> 00:03:01.259
With the technology we had back then, we may as well have been shooting from a slingshot.

00:03:02.500 --> 00:03:05.400
and tell me, what was it all for?

00:03:07.900 --> 00:03:08.800
Knowledge.

00:03:09.719 --> 00:03:10.580
Yes,

00:03:11.180 --> 00:03:14.719
But we also wanted to show what was possible.

00:03:33.560 --> 00:03:37.740
I know all this from the archives. There were bigger missions after.

00:03:37.740 --> 00:03:40.360
Yes, it was the first one to catch a comet.

00:03:41.639 --> 00:03:42.519
Ambition.

00:03:43.500 --> 00:03:44.900
Stubbornness.

00:03:45.180 --> 00:03:46.860
Nothing has changed.

00:03:47.139 --> 00:03:48.479
We fall,

00:03:48.479 --> 00:03:50.479
we pick ourselves up again,

00:03:50.860 --> 00:03:52.520
and we adapt

00:03:52.939 --> 00:03:54.819
I was watching you earlier,

00:03:54.819 --> 00:03:56.819
you actually did everything right.

00:03:57.419 --> 00:03:59.299
I destroyed your rock.

00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:03.180
I needed to see how you would react.

00:04:03.659 --> 00:04:04.799
You're ready.

00:04:07.960 --> 00:04:09.020
Reset.

00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:27.900
Nicely done.

00:04:29.339 --> 00:04:30.679
Let's begin.

00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:33.800
*whispers* Water.
