Space Exploration Question before text How much do you know about Space?satellite————The MoonPlanet————火星：Mars水星：Mercury金星：Venus地球：Earth木星：Jupiter土星：SaturnQuestion about The Moon Why can the Moon be the industrial hub of the Solar System? 为什么月球可以成为太阳系的工业中心？ TEXTCentre中心Received得到的 ，获取的The Moon is likely to become the industrial hub of the Solar System月球很可能成为太阳系的工业中心。supplying the rocket fuels for its ships, easily obtainable from the lunar rocks in the from of liquid oxygen. 从月球上的岩石中很容易提炼出液态氧，作为航天飞船的燃料。质量地球轨道The reason lies in its gravity. Because the Moon has only an eightieth of the Earths mass其原因在于月球的重力。因为月球的质量只有地球的1/80。it requires 97 percent less energy to travel the quarter of a million miles from the Moon to Earth-orbit than the 200 mile-journey from Earths surface into orbit!因此，从月球到地球的25万英里所消耗的能量要比从地球表面进入地球轨道的200英里所耗能量少97%。相应的This may sound fantastic, but it is easily calculated.这点听起来令人难以置信，但却很容易计算出来。To escape from the Earth in a rocket, one must travel at seven miles per second. The comparable speed from the Moon is only 1.5 miles per second. 要乘坐一枚火箭飞离地球，火箭的速度要达到每秒7英里，而从月球出发的相应速度是每秒1.5英里。阿波罗跳跃Because the gravity on the Moons surface is only a sixth of Earths (remember how easily the Apollo astronauts bounded along), it takes much less energy to accelerate to that 1.5 miles per second than it does on Earth. 由于月球表面的重力仅是地球表面的1/6 -- 还记得阿波罗飞船中的宇航员累松地跳跃 -- 在月球上加速到每秒1.5英里比在地球上所用能源要少得多。Resident 居民Moon-dwellers will be able to fly in space at only three percent of the cost of similar journeys by their terrestrial cousins.月球居民在太空遨游的费用仅是地球上朋友飞越同样路所需费用的3%。Question about Mars Why they want to colonize Mars? 人类为什么想探索火星Radical 创新的Arthur C. Clark once suggested a revolutionary idea passes through three phases:亚瑟.C.克拉克曾提议，一种创新的想法要经过以下3个阶段：亚瑟·查理斯·克拉克?编辑英国科幻小说家。其科幻作品多以科学为依据，小说里的许多预测都已成现实。尤其是他的卫星通讯的描写，与实际发展惊人的一致，地球同步卫星轨道因此命名为“克拉克轨道”。1 Its impossible -- dont waste my time.“根本不可能，不要浪费我的时间。”2 Its possible, but not worth doing.“可能，但不值得做。”3 I said it was a good idea all along.“我一直说
