One Direction's first music video as a quartet, without departed bandmate Zayn Malik, is a space adventure that was filmed at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston. "Drag Me Down" shows off the foursome training at the NASA facility.
Liam works on his fitness in a replica of the International Space Station, Harry hangs out with a humanoid robot, Louis drives a rover prototype, and Niall takes a partial gravity simulator for a spin.

At the end, the spacesuit-clad singers launch into orbit toward deep space inside an Orion spacecraft replica thanks to the wonders of CGI and video directors Ben and Gabe Turner.
