Hard to tell. So cool they let the band suit up and climb into the Orion trainer. As for the launch shots, I didn't see any shots from the EFT-1 launch. The only shots I noticed of a Delta looked like they were shot at Vandenberg to me. I'll have to go back and watch it again...[/B][/QUOTE]

The video was filmed on site at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston and in the space agency's hangars at nearby Ellington Airport.<P><center><iframe width="400" height="225" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Jwgf3wmiA04?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen>

The video features band members Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson in the Space Vehicle Mockup Facility (Building 9) inside the space station and Orion mockups, as well as interacting with Robonaut 2 and driving the Space Exploration Vehicle (SEV) rover. The video also includes footage from Mission Control and the 2014 EFT-1 launch (as well as another, non-Orion Delta IV Heavy flight).

As an old guy, I'm not as much a fan of 1D as my pre-teen kids but that was pretty cool.

Nice find Robert

I almost didn't include EFT-1 in my description, but look at the monitors in Mission Control (White FCR).

Seriously? It was okay; but the song lyrics had almost nothing to do with the video. Like some production wunderkid said. "Let's go get some footage at NASA."
