There are likely billions of planets in our galaxy. With over 5,000 already confirmed, how do we know which ones might hold life? Two NASA sounding rockets are launching from Australia to find out which stars make for habitable hosts. We’re following these rocket teams Down Under to show you what it takes to launch a rocket and make groundbreaking scientific measurements.
