Summer love

Waking up to her

I groaned as I heard my alarm go off. I switched it off and rubbed my eyes, slowly opening them, seeing my lovely girlfriend Y/N cuddled up with me, her messy (y/h/c) All over her face and her lips parted slightly to help her breath. I smiled, tucking her hair behind her ear and softly stroking her cheek. Even though she’s always so messy in the morning, I still find her the most beautiful girl on Earth. I wrapped my arm around her and nuzzled my head into the crook of her neck, just wanting to embrace her and feel her warmth. “Why are you so perfect?” I asked, doing circles on her back. 

“Mm.” She groaned, I sighed and placed an innocent kiss on her shoulder, while she did small circles with her thumb on my torso. “Mornin’ beautiful.” I said,groggily. “Mornin’ handsome.” She mumbled. I pulled away slightly and placed a soft kiss on her forehead. “Hi babe.” I said. “Oh, morning breath.” She said and covered her nose. I giggled. “You’ve smelt in plenty of times.” I said. “Doesn’t mean I’m used to it.” She said and giggled. I laughed. I started to tickle her making her laugh loudly. “Ni-Nialler! Stop it!” She said through the laughs. I giggled and stopped placing a kiss on the bridge of her nose. I just continued to look at her with a smile on my lips. “Whaat?” She asked cutely, dragging the ‘a’. I giggled. “Nothing.” I sighed dreamily. She’ll never know how beautiful she is. In my eyes she’s the most beautiful on the inside and out. In my eyes she is absolutely amazing and I am so lucky to have her.  “I love you.” I said. “So much.” I added. She smiled and blushed. She always blushed when I say I love you, and it’s absolutely adorable. “I love you too.” She said, with her sweet smile. “So much.”  She added, These moments are perfect, absolutely perfect. 

Tour NASA with One Direction

You might have heard, One Direction filmed their ‘Drag Me Down’ music video at NASA’s Johnson Space Center, and we know you’re dying to take a tour of everything they saw. So, here we go…

1) Space Exploration Vehicle (SEV)

Even though Louis is roving around Johnson Space Center in our Space Exploration Vehicle, its intended destination is quite different. The SEV will be used for in-space missions and for surface explorations of planetary bodies, including near-Earth asteroids and Mars!

2) Robonaut

Harry and Robonaut bonded during their visit to Johnson Space Center for the filming of their music video. This robot will help humans work and explore in space. Working side by side with humans, or going where the risks are too great for people, robots will make it so we never get ‘dragged down’!

3) Partial Gravity Simulator & Space Station Mockup Bike

You can find Niall floating around in our Partial Gravity Simulator, aka POGO, in the new music video. This tool is used to provide accurate simulations of reduced gravity. Astronauts use this for training and to learn how to perform tasks in space.

While Niall floats with POGO, Liam is training on the International Space Station Mockup Bike, aka CEVIS. This bike provides aerobic exercise and is used to countermeasure the harmful effects of exposure to microgravity while on the space station.

4) Orion Spacecraft

The Orion spacecraft will be the first of its kind that will carry humans to deep space and to Mars! It will be the safest, most advanced spacecraft ever built, and Harry, Niall, Louis and Liam all got to check it out.

5) T-38 Jets

Flying these T-38 jet trainers are an important part of preparing to be an astronaut. Flying and landing them acts as a real-life simulation for practicing spacecraft operations. They can even fly at supersonic up to Mach 1.6, and can put their pilots through more than seven Gs!
