One Direction dropped their new video last night, and if the title “The Right Stuff” hadn’t already been taken (and actually, it’s been used often), it could have been the name of the tune. Based on the video, anyway.
For, in the new clip, Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson get to dress up in what appears to be actual NASA astronaut suits and go into a variety of vehicles, undergo what seems to be astronaut training and hang out with robots and mug for the camera in aircraft hangers at the Johnson Space Center in Houston.
And, as is required in videos, lip sync into the camera, of course.
In the song, the members of the band explain that “with your love, nobody can drag me down,” and taken literally, they seem to be referring to the earth’s gravitational pull, as the clip concludes with the four 1D-ers taking off in a rocket ship and leaving earth. (We’re guessing that part was filmed with the assistance of CGI.)

Only time will tell how many 1D fans take an interest in space travel following this music video.
This marks the group’s first video as a quartet. No word on whether or not former member Zayn Malik is jealous that he missed the chance to hang out at NASA.
Well, what are you waiting for? Watch the video below!
